The Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program is built on a simple but powerful idea: everyone has something to share.
Neighbourhood Small Grants
Grant applications for 2026 are now closed
Applications are open from April 1 - May 1st, 2026
Neighbourhood Small Grants provide grants of $50–$500 to help community members bring neighbours together, build connections, and strengthen their neighbourhoods. Delivered locally by the Squamish Community Foundation in partnership with the Vancouver Foundation and the District of Squamish, the program supports simple, community-led ideas that make a big impact.
All applicants are asked to incorporate a small climate action element or activity into their project—it could be as simple as reducing waste at an event.
