GRANTS TO BUILD AGENCY CAPACITY
Neighbor to Neighbor may, on occasion, be able to make a grant to assist an agency with building funding capacity. If your agency is experiencing a large demand for assistance with a particular need which you are unable to fulfill given your agency’s resources, you may submit an Application for Financial Assistance. Please understand that these capacity-building grants are not intended for general purposes, but only to address an overwhelming demand for assistance with a particular need (e.g. food boxes, gas cards, winter coats, etc.)
OUR RESPONSE TIME
After submitting a grant application, your agency will be notified by email or phone of the decision on your application, generally within ten working days. If approved, funds are sent to your agency to distribute to the vendor for payment. We do not provide cash payments directly to the individual in need.
We encourage qualifying agencies to contact us at n2nOntario@gmail.com.
