Additional funding opportunities
Community improvement plan programs
Community Improvement Plan (CIP) programs are offered by local municipalities across SDG Counties to encourage revitalization, private investment, and property improvements. These programs provide financial incentives, such as grants or loans, to support a range of projects, including façade upgrades, signage, building restoration, and the redevelopment of underused spaces.
Each municipality designs its CIP to reflect local priorities, but all share a common goal: helping businesses and property owners enhance their spaces, support economic growth, and contribute to vibrant, welcoming communities.
Contact your local municipality to learn more about the CIP programs available in your area.
Cornwall Tourism Development Fund (TDF)
The Tourism Development Fund (TDF) provides financial support for events, attractions, and tourism initiatives that drive visitation and enhance the local tourism economy. Funded through the Cornwall Municipal Accommodation Tax, the TDF offers grants of up to $25,000 per project.
Businesses and organizations located within SDG Counties are eligible to apply, provided their project clearly benefits tourism in Cornwall, such as through marketing partnerships, event collaboration, or overnight accommodation impact.
