Small grants funding
In 2021, Kristin Visscher applied for a Neighbourhood Small Grant to purchase work supplies & refreshments for the crew who helped revamp a local bike park and pump track in East Ladner.

The Delta Community Foundation is accepting new applications for Neighbourhood Small Grants from residents who have creative ideas to keep the community connected.

For the past three years, the Delta Community Foundation has been working in partnership with the Vancouver Foundation, which has provided funding for the program, and the City of Delta, which has provided administrative support, to run the grant program and help residents carry out their choice of community projects.

Delta residents can apply for up to $500 in funding and are encouraged to create projects that uplift the spirits and ease the impacts of the pandemic by helping neighbours strengthen connections. All public health orders around gatherings will be observed.

Recipients of last year’s grants focused their initiatives on community bonding, giving back, care packages, the environment and health and wellness and included a variety of projects such as community gardens, food pantry and COVID-19 friendly greetings and gifts to neighbours .

“Last year we had more families work together on projects and they had some creative ways to bring the community and neighbourhood together,” said Jennifer Graham, NSG Community Coordinator for the Delta Community Foundation. “It was amazing to see the project leaders find new ways to bring the community together. Since 2020 staying connected is needed more than ever.”

To qualify for a grant, the activity or project must be free and inclusive and be submitted by a Delta resident. Grant applications are being accepted from March 15 until April 30, 2022 at: www.neighbourhoodsmallgrants.ca/communities/delta.
