2026/27 Quick Action Grants – Round 2

We are pleased to announce the launch of Round 2 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
Resident-Led Quick Action Grant

One Resident-led Quick Action Grant is available for up to $4,000. This grant supports projects led and delivered by a minimum of five local residents who are not related to one another and do not live at the same address. Resident-led projects must be completed within 3-4 months of approval, with all activities and reporting completed by March 5, 2027.

Examples of eligible activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Community events that strengthen connection and belonging
  • Mental wellbeing and wellness activities (e.g., walking groups, peer support circles)
  • Workshops, forums, or learning circles
  • Community arts or cultural activities
  • Initiatives that raise awareness or provide support related to mental wellbeing or housing stability
Residents Apply Here

All funded initiatives must be free to participate, take place within South-Central Richmond Hill, and demonstrate alignment with local priorities.

Applications for the 2026 Round 2 Quick Action Grant will be accepted from September 23, 2026, through October 30, 2026.
