The Policy was informed by consultation with Indigenous organizations and those serving equity seeking groups. The policy is also supported with an implementation plan that includes staff training. Grants are vital to the City of Toronto's ability to achieve its health, social, economic, environmental and cultural goals for its residents. City grants support a vibrant "for public benefit sector" that is responsive to community needs and builds resident leadership and civic engagement. City grants enable organizations to further leverage other financial and in-kind resources to respond to the needs of Torontonians.

Staff recommended

The Executive Director, Social Development, Finance and Administration recommends that: 1. City Council approve the Toronto Grants Policy, including the City of Toronto Grant Principles, outlined in Appendix A.
