Project Description
What is the Neighborhood Grants Program?
The Watershed Alliance offers a city-funded Neighborhood Grants program to support environmental and community focused projects implemented by Vancouver’s neighborhood associations. Annually, $22,500 in micro-grants are offered to help inspire and support sustainable community efforts to improve shared areas of the City.
Grants of up to $2,000 are available and typically range from $1,000-2,000. Applications are accepted on an on-going basis until all funds are awarded for the year. Projects must provide a clear benefit to the community and focus on enhancing the environment. The neighborhood is required to contribute a 1-to-1 match of the grant funds (almost always from volunteer match).
