GRANT FUNDING

Each participating municipality matches its provincial grant with a 20% contribution, and is required to submit an annual report to the Ministry detailing local expenditures for programs and services that are eligible under FCSS legislation.

Programs need to fall within FCSS guidelines, providing preventive social services programming, and funds must be spent by December 31 of the year they’re received.
