Neighbourhood Small Grants Project


The application period for 2011 has ended, but check back early 2012 for more information!


Grants are available in the communities of Mount Pleasant and Little Mountain

(A Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House and Little Mountain Neighbourhood House partnership)

 


The Neighbourhood Small Grants Project (NSGP) offers $50 to $500 to groups of people living in Mount Pleasant and Little Mountain, who want to work together on a small event, program or project that enhances their neighbourhood. If you have ideas that will help build a better community, or you've always wanted to host a block party, organize a multicultural event, hold an outdoor movie night, or create a neighbourhood gardening group, this project is for you! Here are some other NSGP ideas you could develop:

  • A weekly "kid’s games in the park" event

  • Bike-safety workshops

  • A children’s art workshop and exhibition

  • Neighbourhood historical walks

  • Live community theatre

  • Women’s self-empowerment workshops

  • A climate change café

  • Community garden and street beautification projects

  • Neighbourhood emergency preparedness

New! Artist Enhancement Grant Option

This year, the Little Mountain and Mount Pleasant NSGP is offering Artist Enhancement Grants of up to $500 as a supplement to the NSGP grants. Applicants may apply for the regular NSGP to cover the cost of materials for a project, and then they may apply for up to $500 in further funding to pay the artist.
