      The Township of Springwater has two primary assistance programs: the Community Assistance Program and the Springwater International Competition Grant. We also have a Community Improvement Plan, which offers funding to local businesses for a variety of improvements and renovations.

      Community Assistance Program

      Effective March 5, 2025, the Community Assistance Program has been officially concluded. This initiative previously supported residents, families, individuals, and non-profit charitable organizations within Springwater.

      Springwater International Competition Grant

      Inspired by local residents competing at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, we introduced the International Competition Grant. This funding opportunity provides financial support to young athletes in Springwater competing at an international level. This grant provides a one-time $1,000 contribution per specific request, with a maximum of two grants awarded annually on a first-come, first-served basis.

      How to apply

      The Springwater International Competition Grant has now closed. The next grant cycle will open in January 2026. 

      To apply for financial assistance, please review the eligibility criteria listed in the International Competition Grant Application Form. Submit completed forms:

      • In person or by mail to the Township Administration Centre
      • By email
      • By fax at 705-728-6957

      Other funding opportunities

      The annual Springwater Swing Golf Tournament raises funds for needs within the community. Past events supported:

      • School trips involving students who live in Springwater
      • Physician recruitment efforts
      • Donations to local food banks

      Council considers requests for funding during regular meetings of Council. To present to Council, please complete the Delegation Request Form.
