‘It’s not easy to make those decisions’: community grant requests nearly double available budget

On today’s show, we look at recommendations for funding under Tantramar’s 2024 community grants program. There was a huge jump in funding requests this year, with $210,000 worth of applications vying for just $110,000 in budgeted funding. Sports, heritage and arts group still dominate the recommended list, but poverty and food security programs have a growing presence.
