Neighbour Grants

People of a place or community have great ideas for how to make things better. Neighbour Grants helps people implement their own small acts of community right in the neighbourhoods and communities where they live by offering up to $10,000 for project expenses. The small acts of community we support tend to be projects where people: • Build gathering spaces, such as community gardens and naturalized areas. • Engage people in creative ways to address concerns, such as community-created street murals, anti-racism arts festivals, and non-partisan discussions on the importance of voting. • Foster a sense of pride and presence, such as cultural sharing events and achievement celebrations of local youth and seniors. • Give people the chance to get involved in community life, such as book- or tool-sharing libraries, new kinds of neighbourhood festivals, and skills-sharing events. • Plan and guide neighbourhood and community development, such as resident-driven design or sustainability workshops and Reconciliation-themed learning initiatives
