The Canaan Foundation is accepting grant applications for
up to $2000 to organizations supporting residents of North Canaan. The Canaan Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life in the Town of North Canaan.
To fulfil this mission, The Canaan Foundation awards grants to not-for-profit organizations for community programs and projects in such fields as education, the environment, recreation, the arts, health, and social services.
In March 2020, The Canaan Foundation distributed $26,000 in grants to 24 local organizations that serve the North Canaan community. Awards supported core community services such as the volunteer fire department, ambulance service, and Douglas Library and Town Social Services office. Grants also supported youth programs, services to the elderly, Canaan beautification efforts and many other worthy endeavours that directly helped their residents.

‘A Per Cent for Art’ Commission has been awarded to two Cork based textile artists as part of the reopening of Douglas Library. Artists Carmel Creaner and Anne Kiely were awarded the commission by Cork City Libraries and Cork City Council Arts Office. Their proposal takes its inspiration from the historic textile industry of the Douglas and includes a strong community engagement element as its basis.
Carmel Creaner and Anne Kiely will engage with the community by reaching out across the generations through schools and nursing homes to discover the importance of the industry to the area in the past. The finished product, a textile wall hanging, will be installed in March 2021.
