Formerly known as "Recreation Grants"

The Recreation Department processes the applications for Community Development Grants.  The grants are available to non-profit groups in Cumberland County and can be for many different types of projects (sport, recreation, culture, education, community, etc).  Please see our Community Development Grants Application Form (97.5 kB) and for best results, explain how your project will make a difference / affect the community.

Grants and Opportunities available outside the County

As there are many grant opportunities available it is a difficult job to keep up with them all. There is always a chance that something is missing from our list and / or something is obsolete. If you come across either of those, please feel free to contact us so we can update the information.

Some of the grants fit in more than one category, so you may see them more than once.

Please be advised:  Many grants have set deadlines each year. If the deadline is already past, and you are unsure if the grant is ongoing, be sure to contact the organization to find out. If it is no longer available they may have something new in its place.
