Recognition and support for non-profit organizations (NPOs) in CDN-NDG

Last updated December 7, 2023

The borough supports certain local NPOs by formalizing the relationship through its recognition process. This relationship is based on reciprocity, whereby an exchange is fostered between your organization, which offers services to residents, and the borough, which provides the required support.

Objectives of recognition

Gaining official recognition makes it possible to secure various forms of support, based on the status conferred and the availability of resources from the borough. Support can take the following forms:

  • Administrative and bureaucratic (e.g., access to a telephone line)
  • Technical (e.g., material and equipment loans)
  • Rental (e.g., renting rooms and facilities)
  • Promotional (e.g., publication on the borough Web site)
  • Financial

Secure recognition

  1. Read the Policy on recognition and support for organizations (see below).
  2. If your organization meets the eligibility criteria set out in the policy, please complete the application form and submit it to the borough, along with the documents required to ensure that it meets the recognition criteria.
  3. A review committee will then review your application.
