About the Glebe Centre Community Programs

How our community programs are funded

We rely on funds from the Province of Ontario; the City of Ottawa; user fees such as membership fees, class fees and client fees for services; grants; donations and organizational contributions to operate The Glebe Centre Community Programs.

The next time you check the “The Glebe Centre Community Programs” box on your donation card from The Glebe Centre, you are helping to keep the programs and services in The Glebe Centre Community Programs accessible and affordable for everyone.

The Glebe Centre is a registered Canadian charity (BN# 1052-15024 RR – 0001) and raises funds from people, companies, foundations, associations, events and the government. A tax receipt is issued for all donations over $20.
