Got a simple idea to bring people together in your neighbourhood?

The Neighbourhood Connections Kickstart Fund offers grants of $50–$2,000 to help turn community ideas into action. Whether it’s a neighbourhood gathering, community workshop, street library, planter box project, cultural activity, or local beautification effort, this fund is designed to support practical, community-led initiatives that strengthen social connection and create welcoming local places.

Open to individuals, neighbours, informal groups, and small community groups, no previous experience is required. The application process is simple, and support is available every step of the way.

If you have an idea that could make your neighbourhood more connected, inclusive, and vibrant, we want to hear from you.
