Comox Valley Community Foundation is excited to announce that 25 projects have been funded through this year鈥檚 Neighbourhood Small Grants program.
The projects, which will take place throughout the Comox Valley, share a total of $8,750 with grants ranging from $240 to $500.
The Neighbourhood Small Grants program is based on a simple but powerful idea, when people feel a sense of connection and belonging in their neighbourhood, they are more likely to be engaged in activities that make it a better place to live. The program is funded by the Vancouver Foundation and administered locally through the Comox Valley Community Foundation. It supports residents of any age, experience or background to take part in community building.
鈥淔or years, Neighbourhood Small Grants have helped strengthen connections among neighbours across the Comox Valley,鈥� said Jolean Finnerty, the Foundation鈥檚 Executive Director. 鈥淲e鈥檙e always impressed by the imagination and enthusiasm that project leaders bring forward. These small grants spark meaningful change and leave a lasting impact in our communities.鈥�
A diverse range of projects will take place in 2025, including a community celebration on Denman Island, a puzzle library in Black Creek, neighborhood gatherings throughout Courtenay, Comox, and Cumberland, gardening workshops, new parent gatherings and much more.
