Capital Project Grants
Capital Project Grants provide $5 million annually to not-for-profit organizations throughout B.C., to support the completion of inclusive, accessible capital projects that meet community-identified needs and priorities. This page includes information about these grants, including eligibility criteria, grant amounts, how and when to apply and more.
2022 Program Update
The intake for applications opens June 4, 2022 and closes August 4, 2022.
In 2020, the Capital Project Grants program was adapted to address some of the financial challenges that not-for-profit organizations were facing due to COVID-19. Recognizing that many organizations have now implemented the necessary changes to the delivery of their programs or services, capital project applications for regular or COVID-19 projects will be assessed on equal consideration, and with the same criteria for matching funds.
For information about the other types of grant funding offered through the Community Gaming Grant program, please review the Community Gaming Grants and PAC & DPAC Grants pages.
