The Neighbourhood Small Grants program is taking on new applications until mid-April.
According to a news release, the 麻豆社国产Community Foundation is inviting community members to apply for a neighbourhood small grant until April 12.
“Each year we provide grants up to $500 to community projects that aim to cultivate connection and belong and involve sharing skills or talents with each other,” reads the release.
Funded by the Vancouver Foundation and the District of 麻豆社国产since 2017, the grants have supported about 200 projects throughout the community.
In 2023, grant funding totalling $17,400 supported several different projects around Squamish.
“[Neighbourhood small grant] is focused on funding informal groups, individuals and activities. From community gardens to cultural events, there are many ways we can build a thriving neighbourhood.”
