The Municipality of Port Hope offers donations to organizations and registered charities. You can request a donation for any amount below $2,500. If you would like to request more funding, we encourage you to apply for a community grant.
As part of the annual budget process the Municipality of Port Hope advises organizations and registered charities to provide their donation requests in advance so they could be considered to be included in the upcoming budget. The Finance Committee will still consider midyear requests for new initiatives, however any foreseeable requests are to be considered at the time of establishing the upcoming Budget.
