Local Fundraising

Many arts and non-profit groups would not survive without funding from Bingo and Lottery Tickets, and outlets for these are listed in the Yellow Pages. For a list of all the fundraising activities carried out in the City of Greater Sudbury, just read the newspaper from front to back every day for a year and you’ll be able to compile one.

Sudbury Arts Council

The Sudbury Arts Council has limited amounts of funding ($500 or less per project) for community arts projects that are:

1. Originating from and oriented to this community

2. By not-for-profit arts-related groups

3. Particularly suited to special needs populations ie fixed income, disabled, institutionalized

4. Not fundable by regular arts-granting organizations.
