[BC-Wide] Community Gaming Grants: Human and Social Services (Deadline: Nov. 30, 2024)

The Community Gaming Grants program distributes funds from commercial gambling revenues to not-for-profit organizations that deliver programs and services to communities throughout British Columbia.

Local organizations: up to $125,000 per year

Regional/Provincial organizations: up to $250,000 per year

Community Gaming Grants funding enhances community life through supporting programs that:

• provide opportunities for enrichment through participation in sport and the arts;
• enhance and protect our local environment;
• improve quality of life for community members; and,
• enhance and support the safety of our communities.

These grants ensure British Columbians from all regions of the province have access to programs and services that improve their quality of life, support local needs and build inclusive, vibrant communities. Community Gaming Grants specifically fund ongoing programs (e.g., services or activities), as well as minor capital projects and capital acquisitions related to program delivery. An organization can receive funding to support one or more programs. Organizations seeking funding for major capital projects may also apply to the separate Capital Project Grant program. Prior to applying, applicants should read all relevant chapters and appendices of the Program Guidelines to ensure that they understand all eligibility requirements for receiving a grant
