Grants & Funding
Are you a charity looking for grants or funding sources?
Funding Priorities
Through our SurreyCares Community Grants, we support projects in three categories: general community, special needs and youth. Our grants are inclusive, as we try to capture the needs within the community and help as many nonprofits as possible.
​
Additional funding opportunities arise from time to time through our partnerships with the Community Foundations of Canada and other partners.
​​
The SurreyCares Community Grants 2025 applications are now closed.
