The City of Yellowknife (the City) is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the 2025 grants available through the City of Yellowknife. The application deadline for all grants is Wednesday, January 15, 2025 at 5:00 p.m.

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.

If you do not have access to a computer, the Yellowknife Public Library has computers available with internet access and can be used to submit the online grant application.
