Neighbourhood Small Grants for COVID-19 Responses

Neighbourhood Small Grants are open, and now include a focus on supporting COVID-19 response efforts.

We will provide grants of up to $500 that meet the requirements of current public health directives to respond to emerging current needs.
Project ideas that can ease the social isolation of vulnerable people and build community with physical distancing and safety in mind. Examples:(a) Dropping off care packages to elderly or other vulnerable people who live in proximity to project leaders (b) Projects that use, share and exchange local assets/gifts using online platforms Examples: Arts and culture workshops, cooking demonstrations, storytelling or yoga, and meditation sessions
Because of the urgency of the need, there will be no granting deadlines.
Applications will be processed regularly by Program Coordinators.
Applications will still be reviewed by the NGC committee using various online means.
There will be no limit on how many applications individuals can apply for and a co-applicant is no longer required.
Honorariums for skill-sharing workshops can go up to $350 especially for artists based on the types of workshops and the number of sessions facilitated.
