Building better neighbourhoods with a LoveMyHood matching grant

Do you have a great idea for bringing your neighbours together? Want to make a positive change in your neighbourhood? The LoveMyHood Matching Grant supports resident-led projects that bring neighbours together, build connections, and create neighbourhood programs and spaces that make Kitchener a great community.

The City of Kitchener’s LoveMyHood Matching Grant provides one-time cash funding for new resident-led projects and neighbourhood initiatives, in varying amounts, depending on location and scope:

• Up to $30,000 for projects on city land
• Up to $10,000 for projects on private property
• Up to $2,000 for events

Past projects include little libraries, community gardens, greening projects, neighbourhood cooking programs, street parties, art murals, and more!

There is still time to gather your neighbours and your ideas. The next grant intake dates are August 15 and November 14, 2024. The LoveMyHood Grant is awarded quarterly.
