The Milton Community Fund program was established in 2001 to distribute a portion of the funds received from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (Mohawk location) for the benefit of the community. The program is available to support not-for-profit organizations and individuals whose initiatives add to the quality of life within our community or enhance the image of the Town.
