The Community Grant Program consists of three grant categories:
- Community Service grants
- Multi-year grants
- Sponsorship grants
The Heritage Committee Grant Program consists of one grant category:
- Heritage Committee grants
For the Community Service grants, the Multi-year grants and Sponsorship grants, funding is provided to non-profit, community organizations that assist in the organization of events, projects or programs that align with Council’s Strategic Directions. The projects undertaken by the recipients of these grants should have a clear community impact and respond to community needs. Applications for these three grants are reviewed annually by the Grant Review Committee.
Heritage Committee grants are awarded to Yellowknife-based individuals, groups, partnerships or business entities to promote, celebrate and enhance Yellowknife’s rich heritage; or leave a legacy of Yellowknife heritage for future generations through various forms of presentation. The Heritage Committee may grant up to $5,000 for a proposal, whereas any request exceeding $5,000 must receive Council approval. The maximum grant amount that can be awarded for a given project is $10,000. Additional information can be found on the Heritage Committee webpage.
More details on each grant category and the associated online application forms can be found at www.yellowknife.ca/citygrants.
