2016 Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI)

Submissions due Wednesday, May 18 at 4:00 p.m. ET

CIF's 2016 REOI is open now, with a total of $4.565 million to invest in new initiatives. As always, the REOI offers funding for projects that aim to generate cost savings and pursue innovative ideas to improve Blue Box recycling in Ontario.

Submissions that address priorities in the 2016 CIF Operations Plan are more likely to attract funding. As you think about initiatives to propose for your community, we encourage you to review the Plan. If you aren't sure if your idea is eligible for funding, please contact a CIF staff member for guidance.
