Action Grants

What are Action Grants?

Lloyd Sadd Action Grants (formerly Toole Pete Action Grants) are small barrier free micro grants, up to $1,000 each, that are designed to help our members re-engage with their residents. 

Winners are selected randomly from all applications, and anything is possible! 

Thanks to our generous supporter, and long-time partner, Lloyd Sadd, we have $7,000 to distribute among communities!

 

*Please note that this is a reimbursement grant.

Eligibility
