Smart and Caring Grants – Caring for Our Community

Thank you to all who submitted a 2024 Smart & Caring Community Grant application. Successful applicants will be notified by the end of June. 

Huronia is a stunningly beautiful and extremely caring community. The time and resources of so many donors and charities help make this the thriving, vibrant and beautiful place we call home. All of the programs we support enhance the lives of many individuals in our communities, and without the charities and caring donors, none of this would be available. Be part of caring for Huronia, give today and help forever.
