Richmond Cares, Richmond Gives is encouraging residents to apply for a Responsive Neighbourhood Small Grant.
In the wake of the COVID-19 crisis, which has disrupted many aspects of community life including the way we interact with each other, the grant helps to provide opportunities for new ways to connect.
The new funding stream provides up to $500 to carry out a community project.
In the past, projects could take on any form as long as they were inclusive and brought neighbours together. With physical distancing a new reality, new projects must be carried out by individuals or family members from the same household, and must take place as close as possible to your own home.
The program has two goals: to ease the social isolation of vulnerable people, and to facilitate the online exchange and sharing of local assets, skills and resources.
RCRG suggests projects might entail distributing care packages to seniors in your neighbourhood, organizing an online workshop, storytelling, cooking, meditation or yoga. A detailed list of eligibility criteria and an application form are available at rcrg.org
