MicroGrants for Neighbours

Applications for 2026 are now open!!!

The MicroGrants 4 Neighbours program gets small amounts of money ($50 to $1000) directly into the hands of neighbours doing important things for the community. This program developed out of Cortes Literacy’s seed grant program in partnership with Folk University. Now, MicroGrants for Neighbours is run by the Cortes Island Community Foundation with support from the Neighbourhood Small Grants Island Network, and a community advisory committee made up of neighbours, both young and old, that ensure a wide diversity of projects are funded.
