The Healthy Community Initiative (HCI) Fund is intended to support community-based projects which advance the City of Greater Sudbury’s strategic priorities.
Requests for capital or grant allocations may be fully or partially funded dependent on the scope of the requests, available funds, their priority against other requests/projects and in the case of capital requests, the number of capital projects for any given city infrastructure to ensure a level distribution of funds.
To be eligible to receive HCI funding an applicant must be a not-for-profit community group or organization that conducts its activities within the boundaries of the City of Greater Sudbury and have a legal bank account in the name of the applicant or of a not-for-profit, parent group/organization. Initiatives of a member of Greater Sudbury Council are also eligible.
Eligible capital projects require written approval and support from the City before any fundraising and planning begins. Capital funds may be eligible for projects that are on municipal property and result in the city owning the capital asset, align with priorities in the Parks, Open Space, and Leisure Master Plan or other municipal policies/plans and benefit the ward to which the application applies.
The General Manager of Community Development is authorized to approve eligible applications for capital fund requests of $10,000 or less. Council approval is required for eligible capital expenditures that exceed $10,000 in a calendar year and/or have an impact of more than $5,000 annually on the municipal operating budget.
Eligible grants relate to a community event, activity or program that will benefit the residents of the ward or wards including, but not limited to, space rentals or permits, venue decorations and set up, catering, supplies, equipment rentals, giveaways and prizes.
Excluded are requests for events that have already been initiated or completed and requests to cover operational expenses such as utilities and property taxes.
The General Manager of Community Development is authorized to approve eligible grant applications of $1,000 or less. Council approval is required for eligible grant requests that exceed $1,000 and/or result in an applicant receiving a cumulative total grant of more than $1,000 from the HCI Fund in a calendar year and/or exceed $500 towards prizes/gifts for an event.
Successful applicants will be notified by e-mail with formal approval letters. Unsuccessful applicants will receive communication inform them that their funding request was not approved and the reason(s) for which it was not.
Grant recipients are required to submit a post-project/event report providing a detailed financial accounting of expenses paid by the funds with supporting copies of receipts/invoices, within 60 days following the completion of the project or event/initiative.
