Operating grant applications are considered annually during the budget process, with the final decision being made by City Council.
To see the full list of operating grants approved in the 2024 budget, please see Multi-year budget 2024-2027.
On September 26, 2024 City Council passed the Community and Neighbourhood Grant Program By-Law and the Proposed Grant Intake Review Process report. For more information on the Community and Neighbourhood Grant Program, see Item 9 of the Council minutes for the September 26, 2024 Meeting of Council. The approved bylaw and report have important implications for existing and future City of Winnipeg Operating Grant recipients. However, these changes will not take place until 2026. In response, the City has identified an interim process for 2025. For the 2025 funding, the Operating Grant application form will not be available, and grant decisions will be incorporated as part of the 2025 budget process using applications received in 2024. The City’s grants website will be updated when the 2026 grant program is open for applications.
A full list of operating grants approved in the budget are included in each year's budget documents, available at winnipeg.ca\budget.
