Community Funding and Awards

Developing partnerships, creating jobs and fostering sustainability contribute to a community’s health, well-being and social prosperity. To support these activities, the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage offers funding opportunities that help communities enhance assets such as facilities, public places and programs.

Community Facilities Improvement Program
The Community Facilities Improvement Program supports community-led projects which enhance the public use of existing facilities.

Community ACCESS-Ability Program
The Community ACCESS-Ability Program offers cost-shared grants to community groups for accessibility-related capital improvements.

Community Generator Program
The Community Generator Program helps community centres buy and install generators, which allows them to provide a gathering place for the community when needed.

Small Business ACCESS-Ability Grant
Businesses can apply for a cost-shared grant to make accessibility-related improvements. Improvements can benefit clients and customers, employees, or both.

Deadlines are February 14 of each year
