INTRODUCTION

LWP Property Group is committed to creating communities that are healthy and sustainable. We achieve this in a

number of ways. Designing our land developments to refl ect their natural environment, incorporating bike and

hike trails, and ensuring that every home is within walking distance of facilities are just a few of them.

Hosting community-run events such as our Arts & Produce Markets and staging free events such as outdoor

movie nights also provide opportunities for the community to come together.

We also work hard to identify and meet the particular needs of a community. In talking to people within our

communities, we have discovered that sourcing reliable, regular funding for local community groups can be a

challenge and therefore receive many requests for sponsorship each year. In order to streamline the process for

everyone, we have designed an application form which needs to be completed for each application.

• Will hold their events, program or service within LWP communities.

• Are long-term or regular activities requiring an initial boost to establish their program, service or event.

• Off er a much needed service, program or event to the LWP community.

Before submitting an application, ask yourself:

These might include young families outside the local area, as well as local people.
