Community Grants support a wide range of community projects that create connection and belonging for the community.
The 2024 program will open in November 2023, until January 31, 2024.
We believe in building community and strengthening connections right where people live. We provide grants up to $500 for individuals to develop projects that build community.

Our generous donors have established a number of scholarships to support and cultivate our future leaders. The funds are paid directly to the student’s educational institution.

Micro Grants provide responsive support for smaller charitable initiatives that create connection and belonging for the community of West Vancouver but fall outside of the Community Grants funding amount and timeline. The grant is to be used for time limited projects or events that will benefit the community at large.
