2026/27 Quick Action Grants – Round 1

We are pleased to announce the launch of the 2026/27 Quick Action Grants (QAGs) for community initiatives and projects in South-Central Richmond Hill. Local residents, grassroots organizations, and community agencies are invited to apply for funding to support short-term, community-driven actions that respond to local priorities.

Quick Action Grants are designed to support initiatives that align with the Community Safety and Well-Being (CSWB) Plan and the work of the South-Central Richmond Hill Community Action Table (SCRHCAT). For this funding round, projects must address one or both of the following local priorities:

  • Mental Wellbeing
  • Housing Stability
Agency-Led Quick Action Grants

Two Agency-led Quick Action Grants are available for up to $7,500. These grants support projects led and delivered by eligible agencies that operate in or support residents within South-Central Richmond Hill. Projects should be completed within 6–9 months of approval and may begin as early as June 2026, with all activities and reporting completed by March 5, 2027.
