The Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program helps residents of any age, experience, or background take part in building community.
Each NSG community accepts applications on a different timeline. Find out which NSG community you belong to for the most up-to-date information.
You’ve already gotten through the first step. We make the application process as simple as possible. Here’s what you can expect.
You can ask for a grant of between $50 to $500.
Volunteers from your community review applications. You will know if your application was approved between two and eight weeks.
Your grant will be sent to you via cheque or direct deposit. Now it’s time to get started!
Be sure to take a few photos and share them with us. This will help inspire more people like you to get started too.
