Frequently asked questions for neighbourhoods
| Can homes associations apply for a grant for programs/activities/events? |
| Yes. The program/activity/event must be open to the full neighbourhood. Homes associations cannot apply for opportunities that just include their membership. |
| If I am an affiliated organization that receives a foundational operating funding, can I apply for a cash grant? |
| You can only apply for project funding, not operating funding. |
| If I am an affiliated organization that does not receive foundational operating funding, can I apply for a cash grant? |
| Yes, you can apply for both operating and project funding. |
| How do I know if my grant idea is a project? |
| Projects should be one-time or new ideas for your group. This might be a new type of celebration or program, a special anniversary, a pilot idea, or other items. |
| What are some examples of past neighbourhood grant ideas? |
| Outdoor beautification in neighbourhood spaces, operational funding for new affiliates, community programs, and new events. |
