About our fund

#BayItForward is Glace Bay’s community development organization. Its focus is to build partnerships to promote and advance economic, cultural, and social growth in our community. #BayItForward was formed on the initiative of a group of community members, ex-pats and business owners who share a common interest in shaping a positive future for Glace Bay.

The fund is administered by local community members who know our area well. These members:

Spread word about the fund and its long-term potential to help develop the area.
Actively engage with others to understand the needs and opportunities of our area.
Review requests and allocate grants from the fund to local community organizations.
