Neighbourhood Small Grants offer up to $500 for projects that connect and engage residents, share skills and knowledge, build a sense of ownership and pride, and respect and celebrate diversity.

Greenest City Neighbourhood Small Grants provide up to $500 for residents of Vancouver to develop projects that contribute to the City of Vancouver's Greenest City 2020 Action Plan.

Canada 150 Small Grants offer up to $500 for residents of the lower mainland to support projects that encourage participation in community activities to mark Canada's 150th.
