Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County and Community Living Tillsonburg were chosen to receive government funding.
Two non profit organizations in Oxford County will benefit from a total of $757,700 in provincial funding through the Ontario Trillium Foundation's Grow program.
This funding enables organizations to promote healthy, active lifestyles, safeguard arts, culture, and heritage, and broaden opportunities for children and youth throughout the province. It also supports the government’s commitment to protecting Ontario by enhancing local services and fostering stronger, more resilient communities.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County is the recipient of a $345,700 Grow grant for a three year term to expand a county-wide youth leadership mentoring program that empowers high school students and inspires younger children to become future leaders.
Community Living Tillsonburg will also receive a $412,000 Grow grant over three years to expand a program that delivers strong job outcomes for people with developmental disabilities through enhanced training, AI-supported job matching, outreach, transportation, and school-to-work pathways.
“Our government is continuing to deliver for Oxford with new investments through OTF’s Grow grants that will strengthen our communities and empower our local non-profit organizations,” said Ernie Hardeman, MPP for Oxford. “Organizations such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Oxford County and Community Living Tillsonburg are pillars of our community, and this support will enable them to improve programs that are essential to the well-being of people in Oxford, making a positive difference for years to come.”
