Vancouver Foundation is proud to announce the expansion of the Neighbourhood Small Grants program into two new communities through co-funding partnerships with Clayoquot Biosphere Trust and Victoria Foundation.
We are actively exploring ways to bring the Neighbourhood Small Grants program to new communities. By entering into co-funding partnerships with other community foundations, we are making Neighbourhood Small Grants available to even more people across BC.
