Overview
Applications for 2025 Westside NSG open on March 7, 2025 and close when funding for the current grant cycle is exhausted (usually late Spring). It is encouraged to apply early in the grant cycle to ensure your project idea can be considered for funding approval – even for projects that will happen in the Fall! November 30, 2025 is the deadline for projects in all funding streams to complete.
There are four funding streams to choose from: NSG (general), Youth-NSG (ages 12-24) and Greenest City Grants (different criteria). There is also an Indigenous Neighbourhood Grants (I-NSG) funding stream. *To apply for I-NSG, you must identify as Indigenous, live in Metro Vancouver, and your project must take place in Metro Vancouver. If you have any questions about I-NSG, please contact: indigenousNSG@Vacpc.org
Once the grant application opens up the Westside Neighbourhood Grants Committee (NGC) review grants approximately every three weeks.
Important to note: if you apply to Westside Vancouver NSG, you must live in Westside Vancouver catchment, and your project must take place within Westside Vancouver catchment. The Westside Vancouver community boundaries are: from West of Granville, East of Blanca, Marine Drive to English Bay in Kits. The Westside catchment area does not include downtown (West End) or West Vancouver. If you have any questions, please contact the Westside NSG Coordinator at imank@kitshouse.org or faithg@kitshouse.org.
