About this event

The Neighbourhood Small Grant (NSG) program was started in 1999 as a way to combat loneliness and social isolation, by making communities stronger, safer and more welcoming. By offering a small grant (up to $500, up to $250 for a basic block party), to residents, we enable the applicant to bring their project to life, often in a more impactful way or with people in the community they may not have previously been familiar with.

Come and hear from some of last year's project leaders, meet the volunteer grant committee, and get some ideas to allow you to hold your own community-building event this year.
