Deadline: 29-Oct-21
The Parksville-Qualicum Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) Program help to build community and strengthen connections locally.
NSG is based on a simple but powerful idea – when people feel a sense of connection and belonging to their neighbourhood, they are more likely to be engaged in activities that make it a better place.
Funding Information
Neighbourhood Small Grants offer up to $500 for projects that connect people socially or involve sharing skills or talents (with social distancing). When people are active in the life of their neighbourhood, their communities are strengthened from the ground up!
Types of Projects Accepted
- You may apply for any project that will bring your community together, build community strength and resilience, or tackle social isolation.
- Some common types of Responsive Neighbourhood Small Grant projects include care package deliveries or teaching people a new skill, but there are also many unique projects that don’t fall into these categories.
- Any product, service, or event created with the support of a Neighbourhood Small Grant must be offered for free or by a small donation. The small donation should be optional and not a requirement for someone to participate in your project.
Eligibility Criteria
- Anyone who lives in British Columbia (BC) can apply. You must find out which NSG community you belong to by visiting the Communities page.
- You may not apply on behalf of a business or registered organization, but you may apply on behalf of an informal group (for example, a meetup or shared interest group)
