Origin
Summary
This report recommends funding for the following two Host City Showcase grant programs: Community Legacy Initiative (CLI), and Game On Toronto! (GOT). Toronto's Host City Showcase Programs support the legacy of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. This report also recommends the allocation of a grant from the 2015 Identify 'N Impact (INI) program.
Community Legacy Initiative: Of the nine applications received from the 12 shortlisted organizations approved by City Council for the second stage of the assessment process, four are recommended for funding of $885,000. Game On Toronto!: Of the 80 eligible applications received, 16 projects were approved in 2014 for a total of $393,647. This report recommends disbursing the second and final instalment totalling $106,353 to ten of the 16 groups approved for funding in two instalments. Identify 'N Impact: This report recommends a $50,000 grant to one organization to provide grants directly to youth artists and youth-led arts groups to support the implementation of the Toronto Youth Equity Strategy.
Grants help the City of Toronto achieve its social, economic and cultural goals for its residents. The City's goals are better achieved by supporting the work of organizations that are closer to the communities they serve:
The Community Legacy Initiative invests in projects which profile and provide longer-term economic and/or social infrastructure benefits for Toronto's Latin American, South American and Caribbean communities.
Game On Toronto! provides funding to Toronto non-profit community groups, non-profit sports clubs, leagues and associations for sports development projects.
The Identify 'N' Impact Investment program funds youth-led groups to create meaningful opportunities for community involvement.
