Community Development Fund

Eastern Health has just announced its Community Development Fund for 2012.  The Community Development Fund provides grants to community organizations/groups to identify and take action on priority needs that contribute to a healthier community.  Priority will be given to applications that contribute to a healthier community by:
  • Building a sense of community,
  • Strengthening social support networks,
  • Developing community connections, 
  • Addressing a priority need in your community 
  • Creating supportive environments
  • Strengthening community action

Funding is available for non-profit community based groups and organizations.  An organization is considered not-for-profit if it meets all of the following conditions: it is organized and operates solely for not-for-profit purposes in the province and it does not make any of its income available for the personal benefit of any of its members or volunteers.

Applicants must serve the population within the geographic boundary of Eastern Health (from the St. John’s region west to Port Blandford, including all communities on the Avalon, Burin and Bonavista Peninsulas).

The Community Development Fund was initiated by the Eastern Health Board of Trustees in 2007 to provide grants to community organizations/groups that identify and take action on priority needs that contribute to a healthier community.

Deadline for Applications is April 5th
