If your organization can help Port Moody, the Port Moody Foundation may be able to help you.
The foundation is kicking off its 2015 community granting cycle and seeks expressions of interest from eligible registered charity organizations needing financial support for projects and programs that will benefit Port Moody and its community members. Grants of $500 to $2,000 may be given.
An expression of Interest should be limited to one page and outline a project or program that fits with the fields of arts and culture, heritage, ecology, sports, recreation or social betterment that primarily benefits those living in PoMo.
In 2014, the foundation provided some $6,000 in funding grants to help local registered charities fulfill their goals of serving the community.
The expression of interest can be submitted online, via email or by mail and should be submitted by Jan. 23. For online submissions, go to portmoodyfoundation.ca/grants/expression-interest/; email submissions to [email protected]; or mail your submission to the Port Moody Foundation, 300 Ioco Rd., Port Moody, B.C. V3H 2V7.
The foundation will review all submissions and create a short list of those which best meet the funding criteria. Organizations selected will be notified in February and will be requested to submit a more detailed funding application by March 20 and successful grant applicants will be notified in May.
For further information, call Paul Thiel, grants committee chair, at 604-469-4699 or visit www.portmoodyfoundation.ca.
