Applications are now open for Neighbourhood Small Grants, which are available to all residents of B.C. The funding program provides grants of up to $500 for projects that connect people socially or promote skill-sharing with each other.

Some common types of 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.

• You can ask for up to $500 for any Neighbourhood Small Grant program.
• You can use the grant to offset any expenses that were needed for the project. This includes products, transportation or services.
• You may ask for up to $350 to provide honorariums to anyone who contributes skills or knowledge to your project — including yourself.
