The Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program, a partnership between the Vancouver Foundation and the City of Maple Ridge, is a great way to connect neighbours and build community. Neighbourhoods are not just a physical location; they are where we gather, connect and build strong relationships!
Small Projects, Big Impact - Grants up to $500
NSG can help bring your ideas to life with grants up to $500 per project and are an opportunity to strengthen your community.
Applications are accepted from March 1 - April 30. We encourage early application to avoid disappointment. All ideas and projects that receive funding for this intake must be completed by November 30 of that Calendar Year.
2024 Applications Now Closed - The program is fully subscribed to this year. Check back in with us in Spring 2025 for the next opportunity to apply for this program.
