CAA Niagara’s 6th Annual Community Boost is now accepting applications!

At CAA Niagara, we believe in the power of giving back and supporting the incredible work of local charities. That's why we're thrilled to announce we are currently accepting applications for our Annual Community Boost, which aims to empower and uplift non-profit organizations in the Niagara Region.

Here's how it works: Local charities dedicated to community safety, programming for seniors and children, social services, mental health services, and environmental conservation and sustainability are invited to apply for the Community Boost program. Selected charities will receive one-time donations of $10,000 each, along with various forms of support such as volunteerism, marketing assistance, and fundraising support.

But that's not all – as a special component of the program, we proudly decorate two new towing vehicles in our fleet with the branding and colors of the selected charities. This helps raise awareness and visibility for their important causes throughout the community.

As we enter our sixth year, we're excited to continue our commitment to supporting local organizations and making a positive impact in the lives of many. We’re asking our valued Members to help spread the word and encourage local organizations they support to apply. Your firsthand knowledge of the incredible work being done in our community is invaluable, and by sharing information about the program with charities you support or are aware of, you can help them access the resources and support they need to make an even greater impact. Together, let's rally behind these deserving organizations and empower them to continue their vital contributions to our community.

Last year, Big Brothers Big Sisters Niagara and Wellspring Niagara were selected as the newest recipients, joining a prestigious list of Community Boost family members that include Pathstone Mental Health, Heartland Forest Nature, Gillian’s Place, Hospice Niagara, Food4Kids Niagara, FORT Youth Centre, Kristen French Child Advocacy Centre Niagara and Distress Centre Niagara.

Applications for the 6th Annual Community Boost program are now open and will be accepted until Monday, April 1st. To submit an application or learn more about the program, please visit caaniagara.ca/communityboost.
