The Western Ontario Fall Funders Forum Series, hosted by the County of Simcoe, will provide communities, non-profits, economic development stakeholders, and local businesses with an opportunity to meet directly with representatives from various provincial ministries.
This in-person series features presentations and discussions on ministry-led grant programs offering participants valuable insights into available support, eligibility criteria, and application timelines.
By connecting funders and applicants face-to-face, the forum helps strengthen understanding and access to provincial resources that support local growth and community development.
Whether you represent a municipality, non-profit, local business, or economic development group, this is a chance to learn about upcoming grant programs and timelines, as well as to understand eligibility requirements and evaluation priorities.
This in-person event will feature presentations from representatives of:
• Ministry of Rural Affairs
• Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade
• Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Gaming
• Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development
• Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness
• Southern Ontario Fund for Investment in Innovation
