Resources for Local Community Groups
This policy is geared towards established or new Community Groups whose mandate is to provide recreational, art, cultural, heritage, social, environmental and/or sport programs and services that benefit King Township residents. By becoming an Affiliated Community Group (ACG) with the Township, Community Groups will have access to variety of tools and resources such as the allocation of discounted municipal space and access to funding to help support their goals. This will allow us to allocate municipal resources and space in a fair, objective, and equitable manner, and to support groups that provide opportunities that expand and diversify programs and services available to the community.

The Township of King's User Fee & Subsidization Policy applies to not-for-profit organizations interested in working with us to offer residents a variety of recreational, art, cultural, heritage, social, environmental and/or sports programs.
The Community Services Department offers support to these volunteer-based, Affiliated Community Groups by effectively allocating public funds for recreational services and facilities. The policy outlines the governing principles, relates the principles to recreation programs, facilities, and clients and recommends a three level subsidization process.

There is financial support for participants of community group programs or activities who need help paying for registration fees or equipment. The purpose of the Community Assistance Program is to provide fee assistance that is fair, equitable and easy to access for low-income King Township residents.

The new Enrich King program is set to revolutionize access to funding and support for residents, businesses and community groups in King Township. The initiative will streamline the process of obtaining funding, donations and in-kind services from the Township and its partners by allowing users to apply through a centralized, online platform, available at enrichking.ca.
The new program amalgamates the existing four different funding/grant programs offered by the municipality: Community Assistance Program, Heritage Property Grants, Community Improvement Plan and the Community Grant Program.
Each program has multiple streams of funding tailored to diverse needs, ensuring a broad spectrum of support for King’s community members.
There is also a donation fund individuals or community grants can apply for. Some of the donations that can be requested include a free week of traditional summer camp, a one-month unlimited fitness membership or a four-hour rental of a community hall. These donations are typically requested as prizes for nonprofit fundraisers.
