  To qualify for the Community Grants Program, organizations must:

  2. Provide services that primarily benefit Delta residents; and
  3. Not receive other support from the City of Delta (such as permissive tax exemptions or service agreements).
• Program Criteria

  The Community Grants program is intended to support initiatives that fulfill one or more of the following criteria:

  • Strengthen and enhance the well-being of Delta's community.
  • Benefit residents facing social, physical, or economic disadvantages.
  • Promote volunteering, cultural understanding, or inclusivity.
  • Partner with other service providers in Delta.
  • Organization’s programs and services are inclusive and available to Delta residents

  For additional information on the criteria and how to assess your proposed program/project or event, please see the Community Grants Evaluation Rubric.

  Please note that the City of Delta’s community grants budget is $150,000 per year, and the number of applications received is greater than the available funding. As such, meeting the eligibility requirements does not guarantee funding.
