• Funding of a project that will have a long term impact on the community (i.e., not for normal operations)

• The organization has demonstrated that they can sustain the initiative to the end of the project
• Priority will be given to organizations that have not received a large scale sponsorship/donation from Hensall Co-op in the past 5 years
• Our employees have identified that Community Health and Healthy living are important to them, therefore, we will give priority to projects in the area of Health and Healthy living
