Expression of Interest - Operational and Program Funding

We're excited to announce our Expression of Interest (EOI) for Operational & Program Funding will open on August 11th, 2025, and close on September 5th, 2025. This Expression of Interest is for 2-year funding starting April 1st, 2026. Please mark your calendars, as completing the Expression of Interest is the first step in our new funding process.

To allow for questions and to provide more information about the EOI and the upcoming funding process, we will be hosting a virtual information session for Pictou County on July 24th, 2025 from 10:00 to 11:30 AM.

If you're unable to attend this session, we'll also be hosting a Mainland Nova Scotia Session on August 5th, 2025 from 3:00 to 4:30 PM.

If you're interested in attending, please RSVP here: United Way Maritimes Info Session
