The Town of Rocky Mountain House has released a new community grant policy.

Town officials say the success within their volunteer, community-based organizations/groups/clubs and through their community festivals and events is fundamental in maintaining the high quality of life in Rocky Mountain House.

Officials add that each year the Town of Rocky Mountain House receives requests for funding from community organizations/groups/clubs and festival/event organizers. The objective of this policy is to provide modest levels of support through a clear and equitable funding process.

There are two categories of support under the new Community Grant Policy:

• Community Grant Program – funding for community-based organizations/groups/clubs and/or community festivals and events
• Facility Rental Discounts – waiver of rentals of Town of Rocky Mountain House-operated facilities.

Applications are accepted throughout the year and will be considered by council as they are received.
