Neighbourhood Small Grants
Do you have a great idea to bring people together in your neighbourhood? Apply for a small grant!
Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub is excited to o0ffer the Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) in North Surrey. An initiative led by the Vancouver Foundation in collaboration with community organizations throughout the province, Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) inspire residents to create local activities which strengthen communities and promote multi-cultural ism and diversity.
The Neighbourhood Small Grants program is aiming to help creating strong, vibrant communities by encouraging residents to become active in making their neighbourhoods stronger, more viable places to live and work. Whether it’s a block party, art event, sport and recreation group activities, environmental education, historical walking tour, or meet and greet, NSGs help connect and engage neighbours to share skills and knowledge, increase a sense of belonging and responsibility to community, and to respect and celebrate diversity.
Who can apply?
Any projects/events that will help build a better community, NSG provide up to $500 to enable local individuals and groups to develop an activity for their neighbourhood. All projects should be completed by the end of November.
The Small Grants Committee assesses each application according to the goals outlined above, along with other criteria. If interested you can apply online: Apply for Small Grants
Please note that family-only or professional events are not eligible, events must be Free of Charge to all participants, and projects must occur in the North Surrey boundaries. Grants receivers must agree to document their projects and share result with photos in a poster/presentation, and submit an expense report at the end of the projects.
For more information, please contact Abdul Salehzai NSG Program Coordinator at nsg@oanh.ca or call the Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub at 604-582-7088.
