Milton’s new Town Council has approved the funding for the Milton Community Fund.
At the Town Council meeting on Monday, December 19th, Councillors approved grants from the Milton Community Fund totaling $207,847 to 25 local organizations that are helping make Milton “a place of possibility.”
The Milton Community Fund supports a wide variety of not-for-profit organizations and programs that enhance local access to artistic, cultural and recreational programs.

“We commend these successful recipients for their dedication and commitment to serving the Milton community,” says Milton Mayor Gord Krantz. “We look forward to seeing how these groups will use the Milton Community Fund grants to improve the quality of life for Town residents, while strengthening local partnerships.”
Town of Milton Council created the program to allot funds received from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG)’s Mohawk location for the benefit of the community. Organizations that are unable to accept funding directly from OLG can contact Town staff for more details, as there are alternate funding sources available.
