Inspiring Community Grant 2023

UTown@UBC (part of UBC Campus + Community Planning) funds this grant program in partnership with the Vancouver Foundation’s Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG). The Inspiring Community Grant is one of the many grassroots granting programs in the NSG network to serve neighbourhoods across British Columbia. We acknowledge that the UBC Vancouver campus is situated within the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), and that participants may be joining in from across other Indigenous lands and traditional territories.
