Still time to apply for a 2025 LoveMyHood Matching Grant
Have an idea for a great neighbourhood project? The LoveMyHood Matching Grant supports projects that bring neighbours together, build connections, and create new programs and spaces that make Kitchener a great community. Past projects include little libraries, community gardens, greening projects, neighbourhood pop-up markets, street parties, art murals, neighbourhood programs and more.
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 (schools, churches)
Up to $2,000 for community events
The final grant application deadline for this year is November 13, 2025.
There is still time to gather your neighbours and your ideas. Reach out to a LoveMyHood Project Coordinator at 519-741-2663 to discuss your ideas and how they can help you achieve your goals.
