The City of Vaughan is calling on businesses to give back to the community in a new way. A Corporate Partnerships Program is being launched to generate alternative non-taxation funding to support City programs, services and infrastructure.
As a
growing municipality, maintaining City assets is fundamental to the quality of
life residents enjoy. The purpose of the program is to build partnerships with
companies that want to make a positive contribution to the community.
There are
a variety of ways for companies to get involved.
- Infrastructure Revitalization Partnerships – funding could be used to renovate or make facilities more accessible for residents.
- Program Partnerships – support for the City’s programs could go toward reducing the cost of recreation programs for low-income families and individuals in Vaughan, making the arts more accessible, funding culture and green initiatives. It could also be used to help animals and youth, fund parks, trails and tree planting initiatives.
- Naming Rights Partnerships – naming or renaming City facilities or individual components of facilities is available to corporations. The City will retain ownership and control over the property.
QUOTE
“The
spirit of generosity defines our community. The City of Vaughan is blessed with
people and businesses that truly understand the importance of giving back. We
have many corporate citizens who recognize the value in funding a special
program or community centre because they want to contribute to city-building. The
Corporate Partnerships Program will provide much needed resources so we can continue
to provide residents with essential amenities without impacting tax rates. Collaboration
between the private and public sector is a perfect example of coming together
for the greater good. I have confidence we have companies in Vaughan that will
rise to the occasion to make a difference.”
-Mayor
Maurizio Bevilacqua
