Deadline: 31-Aug-2025
Applications are now open for the Neighbourhood Small Grants Program to help residents of any age, experience or background take part in building community.
With a Neighbourhood Small Grant, you join their network of thousands of project leaders who have taken steps to better their neighbourhoods — just like you. This grant provides support for projects that will bring a community together, build community strength and resilience, or tackle social isolation.
Some common types of projects include care package deliveries or teaching people a new skill, but many unique projects also exist. Any product, service, or event created with the grant must be offered for free.
You can ask for up to $500 for any project, which can be used to cover expenses such as products, transportation, or services. You can also request up to $350 to provide honorariums to anyone who contributes skills or knowledge to your project, including yourself. For example, if you plan to host an online cooking class, you may pay yourself or a guest teacher an honorarium. You can also use the grant to purchase ingredients and a premium subscription to a platform for hosting.
Anyone living in British Columbia, Canada, can apply, but you must determine which NSG community you belong to. Non-profits, businesses, or any other types of registered organizations are not eligible.
For NSG communities that accept applications on a rolling basis, you will receive a response within two weeks. For communities that accept grants for a limited time, you will be contacted within 6-8 weeks after your submission. The deadline for applications is 31 August 2025.
