Neighbourhood Small Grants
Do you have an idea to uplift your community? Do you want to make new friends and connect with your neighbours? The Neighbourhood Small Grants offers a small grant of up to $500 for you to bring your community project to life. With a Neighbourhood Small Grant, you join our network of thousands of project leaders who have taken steps to better their neighbourhoods—just like you.
The Neighbourhood Small Grants (NSG) program has empowered residents of any age, experience or background to take part in building community since 1999, and began with neighbourhood houses in East Vancouver. Since 2019 ANHBC has been the network lead organization of the Metro Vancouver NSG Network.
