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.
