City of Nanaimo Seeks Grant Applicants



Social Development Grants

The City of Nanaimo is seeking Letters of Intent from Nanaimo based registered non-profit societies for 2014 Social Development grants. The purpose of these grants is to help raise public awareness about social issues and to build community capacity and partnerships that address our community’s social challenges. A total of $50,000 is available for the 2014 grants.

The Social Planning Advisory Committee (SPAC) is seeking applications that address mental health related issues of suicide and/or social isolation. SPAC has determined that the criterion to be eligible for a 2014 grant will be;

Suicide prevention and/or social isolation.

Project proposals are solicited through a two-step process that involves a preliminary Letter of Intent and, if successful, the society will be invited to submit a full application.

Letters of Intent must be received by the City of Nanaimo prior to 4:30 pm on Friday, 2014-Jan-31 and should be addressed to John Horn, Social Planner, City of Nanaimo. They may be mailed to 455 Wallace Street or dropped off at the Social Planning Section, Service and Resource Centre, 411 Dunsmuir Street, Nanaimo, BC.

Guidelines for the Social Development Grant program can be viewed on the City of Nanaimo website, or by contacting the Social Planning Section at 250-755-4483.
