Community Grant Program

The Community Grant Program provides funds for: 

  • One-time projects and initiatives; or  
  • Operating expenses of organizations in their development stage once per fiscal year for up to three years (within the first five years); or 
  • Events that are primarily designed and delivered for the general public that attract visitors, significantly contribute to the local economy and promote volunteerism.

From 1999 to Fall 2022, the Town of Hinton has provided $1.61 million in funding to local non-profit organizations through either the Quality of Life or Community Grant programs. 

The Fall Intake of the 2022 Community Grant Program is underway! The deadline for the Fall Intake is SEPTEMBER 2, 2022, at 10:00 am. Please drop completed applications off at the Government Centre, addressed to Alexa Wade, Communications Assistant. 

Please note that effective April 2018, the maximum total funding available to each group per intake is now $10,000. 

There was no 2020 Spring intake due to COVID-19 impacts.


Additional resources have been added to this year's Fall Intake. In response to Community feedback, the addition of the “Application Breakdown Guide” and the “Grant Writing do’s and don’ts” documents have been created and are available upon request. If interested, please email info@hinton.ca requesting a copy.
