City of Kitchener presents September's Virtual LoveMyHood Grant Writing Workshop

Do you have an idea for a neighbourhood project that will bring people together? Looking for support to help make it happen? 

The City of Kitchener's LoveMyHood Matching Grant helps residents turn their ideas into reality by providing funding for resident-led projects and neighbourhood initiatives. Ideas like street parties, little libraries, community art or neighbourhood greening, residents take the lead to create more connection in their neighbourhoods, and the City provides support along the way! 

If you're interested in applying for a LoveMyHood Matching Grant but aren't sure where to start, join us for a free grant writing workshop and learn how to build a strong application.
