Community Initiatives Program
What is this program about?
The Community Initiatives Program supports projects that have
a broad impact on Winnipeg's inner city or target specific groups
across the inner city. It funds activities that enhance economic
development, increase safety and prevent crime, reduce at risk
behaviour, contribute to better health practices, strengthen tenant-landlord
relations and improve coordination and cooperation.
Where
is the program available?
An initiative under this program must involve more than one inner
city neighbourhood in Winnipeg and can include inner city neighbourhoods
not currently designated by Neighbourhoods Alive!
Who can apply?
Applicants must be community organizations whose overall purpose
is to improve the quality of life in Winnipeg's inner city.
What levels of funding are involved?
Funding is variable and depends on the scale and anticipated
results of the proposed project.
What is the application procedure?
Organizations will prepare proposals in consultation with the
Province's Neighbourhoods Alive! Coordinator. Recipients
will be required to enter into an agreement with Manitoba on the
expenditure of funds. The agreement will specify requirements
for reporting and audit.
The Neighbourhoods Alive! coordinator coordinates the
program with other government programs and provides assistance
to neighbourhood organizations in accessing those programs.
Are there specific dates for submitting
proposals?
Community Initiatives Program intake dates are January 2,
May 1 and October 1. Proposals received after these
dates will not be reviewed until the following intake period.
