Local non-profit organizations and community groups are being reminded that applications for the City of Cranbrook’s municipal grant program are due Sept. 1, 2026.
The city says the deadline is strict, and late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
The city is urging groups to start early, submit ahead of the deadline, and double-check applications to avoid problems such as missing information or technical delays.
