Manitoba Ag Days has launched a community giving program which will provide grants for improvements to local facilities. The initiative builds on its previous education and scholarship programs.
“We want to share some of the show’s success with the individuals who make it successful by allowing communities and organizations the opportunity to apply for funds to help support valuable projects and initiatives in the heart of our agriculture industry,” Ag Days chair Dave Laudin said in a release.
The community improvement category is made up of capital and upgrade projects, agriculture and heritage and safety and emergency services.
“As a board we felt these were three areas that are necessary for rural communities to continue to grow and thrive,” Laudin said. “If your community has projects such as playgrounds, renovations to recreation facilities, emergency services needing new equipment or an annual fair or event that need supports, please apply.”
Application deadline is Nov. 15, 2015. For more details visit agdays.com.
