Niagara Prosperity Initiative
The Niagara Prosperity Initiative was established by Niagara Region in 2008, and provides an annual investment of $1.5 million to support poverty reduction and prevention activities. Using a research-based approach to address the root causes of poverty, the Niagara Prosperity Initiative allocates resources where they will have the greatest effect.
Goals of the Niagara Prosperity Initiative
- To guide and direct investments on identified initiatives to alleviate poverty in neighbourhoods across Niagara
- To advocate for change that will reduce and prevent poverty in the community
- To develop and enhance collaborative relationships between stakeholders
- To engage people living in poverty in meaningful ways to ensure that investments reflect need
Proposals are invited from the community for projects that will provide an effective service to address poverty at a neighbourhood level for residents of the Niagara region.
The 2016 Niagara Prosperity Initiative Request for Proposals (RFP) is now closed. The next RFP is expected in 2017. If you would like to be notified as soon as it is announced, please contact us.
