Each year the Town of Oakville makes operating and project grants available to qualified not-for-profit cultural organizations. The Oakville Arts Council, on behalf of the Town of Oakville, administers the cultural grant program.
Applications are reviewed by an arm’s length Grants Review Committee, convened by the Oakville Arts Council. Recommendations are presented to the Town’s Budget Committee and then to Town Council for approval. The Grants Review Committee is commissioned by and responsible to the Board of Directors of the Oakville Arts Council.
