Grants
PURPOSE
The Grant Committee was established to provide financial support to individuals and organizations within the Greater Hamilton Community
PREAMBLE
Since the late 70′s the Grant Committee has recommended support for numerous organizations, associations and agencies such as the Salvation Army, Children’s Aid Society’s, Family Services, Breakfast Programs, the Good Shepherd, Wesley Urban Ministries, Hamilton Food Share, etc. who provide direct support to individuals and groups.
Individuals have also been recipients of our support; sports equipment and/or registration fees, special medical equipment, summer camp, etc.
The aforementioned are but a very few of the numerous examples that have profited from the financial support of the membership of the Club.
