Secure up to $5,000 in funding for your community initiative
Township of King, Ont. (January 28, 2026) —Do you have a project or initiative that needs funding? Turn your vision into action and make a meaningful difference in the community by applying for King Township’s Community Grant Program through Enrich King. Applications can be made online now through November 1, 2026 at enrichking.ca/community-grant-program.
The Community Grant Program supports eligible community groups, businesses, organizations and individuals that prioritize activities, events and initiatives that align with the five main goals of King Township’s Recreation and Community Master Plan: Active Living, Inclusion and Access, Connecting People and Nature, Supportive Environments and Recreation Capacity. Applicants must select a minimum of one Master Plan goal area to demonstrate how the outcomes of its activities, events and initiatives will align.
The Community Grant Program includes four funding streams, and projects must fit into one of the following:
- Community Events: Public events where there is added value to the entire community.
- Inclusive Communities: Projects promoting healthy, safe and inclusive community development.
- Environment King: Projects tackling climate change, sustainability and environmental issues.
- Special Initiatives: New activities and initiatives that innovatively seek to meet or resolve a defined need within the community.
Grants of up to $1,500 are available for special initiatives, community events and developing inclusive communities and up to $5,000 for environmental initiatives.
Since 2024, over $50,000 in funding has been granted by King Township to support meaningful local initiatives. Highlights include support for Bee Ambassadors Canada to deliver environmental education for kindergarten to grade 6 students, Big Brothers Big Sisters Peel York to strengthen volunteer recruitment, and Hope House Community Hospice for its Children’s Grief Awareness Month event. Funding also helped Kettleby Cemetery host its Remembrance Day Service and enabled the King Chamber of Commerce to run its annual Holiday Lunch & Toy Drive.
Community recreation and youth programs benefited as well, with support for the King Rebellion Jr A Hockey Club to provide a free game experience for Nobleton Public School, and funding for the Kingcrafts Studio sale promoting local arts. Essential services such as the King Township Food Bank received grants for its Back-to-School program and relocation to Schomberg Main Street.
Environmental and educational groups—including Kinsland Community Garden, the Learning Disabilities Association York Simcoe, and multiple school parent councils—were supported for projects ranging from pollinator garden creation to inclusive after‑school programming and school charity events. Agricultural and rural community organizations such as the Schomberg Agricultural Society, Schomberg Community Farm, and Schomberg Horticultural Society also received funds for fairs, farm‑to‑table events, and garden tours.
Additional grants supported community well‑being and social connection, including the Schomberg Lions Club for a free family skating event, Schomberg United Church for seniors’ lunch programming, and Yellow Brick House for its annual Celebration of Resilience Gala supporting women and children affected by domestic violence.
