Region of Queens Municipality takes great pride in the ability to make investments in the community served. The Community Investment Fund (CIF) was created to help registered non-profit organizations or societies further their mission by supporting endeavours which include infrastructure, programs, and, most importantly, people.

Annual cash grants are awarded to groups focused on athletics, education, environment, culture, community, recreation, sport, heritage, or social activities within Queens County.

There are 5 (five) pillars of investment: Capital, Operational, Event/Tournament, Training, and Travel Assistance.

The application deadline for the Operating Investment Fund is January 31st annually.  All other funds under the Community Investment Fund are open year-round.
