Residents of any age, experience, or background can get involved building community and making their neighbourhood a better place to live.

Do you have a great idea to strengthen connections in your community? Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) provides grants up to $500 for people to lead projects in their neighbourhood. Examples projects include multicultural events, block parties, community gardens, festival, skill sharing workshops and much more!

Ideas that Connect Neighbours

APPLY FOR UP TO $500

Neighbourhood Small Grants is a grant stream created to support small-scale community projects in neighbourhoods and communities throughout the Kootenay Boundary. Neighbourhood Small Grants recognize that any individual can offer their ideas, skills, experiences and contacts to create projects that:

  • build community strength and resillience
  • foster community creativity and well being, and
  • alleviate social isolation

Grants of up to $500 are available. A grant is money you receive to help bring your project to life. You must apply for the grant, but you do not need to pay the money back.
