Record fundraising follows 2025 tournament
The Town of Caledon has named the primary grant recipients of the 2026 Caledon Council Community Golf Tournament (CCCGT), with funding going to five organizations and projects that benefit residents across Caledon.
According to a Town of Caledon news release issued Wednesday, the announcement follows a record fundraising year for the tournament in 2025.
Mayor Annette Groves said having multiple primary grant recipients this year reflects the strength of the community organizations involved.
It is wonderful we have multiple primary grant recipients this year. Each of these organizations has an important role in our community and they improve the quality of life in Caledon. This tournament is helping improve the lives of others by funding programs and services that may not otherwise be possible.
Groves made the comments in the Town's announcement of the grant recipients.
What the committee said
Ward 6 Councillor Cosimo Napoli, who chairs the 2026 tournament committee, said the applications the committee received point to a broad community benefit.
As Chair of the 2026 Caledon Council Community Golf Tournament, it is a privilege to support fundraising efforts that advance these meaningful causes. The requests we received will have a positive impact across Caledon.
Regional Councillor for Wards 4, 5 and 6 Mario Russo, who serves as vice chair of the CCCGT, said the quality of this year's applications stood out to the committee.
The funds raised through this tournament are an investment in our community and in Caledon's future. We were impressed by the quality of the applications received, and the CCCGT funds will enable these initiatives to become a reality.
How the grant program works
Applications for the tournament's primary and secondary grants, as well as the Beffort Scholarship, are available annually through the Town's website. Funding supports non-profit organizations and capital projects that benefit the Caledon community.
Residents and organizations can find more information about the grant program at caledon.ca/cccgt.
The tournament is one of several ways the Town supports community initiatives. Caledon, home to close to 80,000 residents and 4,000 businesses, is known for its natural attractions and rural character, and is projected to grow to 300,000 residents and 125,000 jobs by 2051.
