$25,000 in funding available for selected recipients
With the application deadline approaching at the end of the month, we encourage individuals working on projects that focus on the safety and well-being of Ontarians to apply for the 2024 Energizing Life Community Fund. For the fourth year in a row, $25,000 of funding is available to Indigenous communities, charitable organizations, and municipalities across Ontario whose work promotes physical, psychological and emotional well-being. By supporting and being present for the organizations that energize life for so many, we believe we can build safer and more resilient communities.
“At Hydro One, we are committed to being present and giving back to the communities where we live and work. Charitable organizations and municipalities are powerful agents of local change, and we are proud to support them as they build a better and brighter future for all,” said Daniel Levitan, Vice President, Stakeholder Relations, Hydro One. “Organizations like Autism Dog Services work tirelessly to build safe and healthier communities, and we want to thank them for all that they do.”
Camp Maple Leaf, a 2023 Energizing Life Community Fund recipient, creates a welcoming environment for kids with similar life experiences, resulting in life-long friendships and memories. The non-profit used its funding to open an additional 60 spaces for children to attend camp.
“With the help of the Energizing Life Community Fund, Camp Maple Leaf was able to provide its overnight summer camp programs to nearly 1200 participants in Ontario in 2023. I encourage every organization invested in the wellbeing of Ontario to apply!” – April Young, Director, Camp Maple Leaf, 2023 Energizing Life Recipient
