LOCAL (Pictou County)

offered by local municipalities and agencies for projects that will take place in this area and benefit residents of Pictou County

PROVINCIAL & REGIONAL

often the Provincial Government divides the province into service regions (i.e. school boards, health & wellness) to make the allocation of funds for specific initiatives equitable
in some cases, the agency may be accepting applications from across the entire province.

NATIONAL

offered by federal government or by large corporations
as a rule - the larger the amount of funding requested, the more detailed application process. Feel free to ask your local recreation director for their assistance.
Contact the local branch if applying for a grant from a national corporation (i.e. banks, RCMP) for advice and to let them know you are sumbitting an application - they might be able to put in a good word for your organization.
