Capital Project grants help B.C. not-for-profit groups complete larger projects that improve community life.
These grants support projects that are:
- Accessible to the public
- Built around a clear community need
- Designed to help a wide range of people
- Located in British Columbia
The funding is meant for capital projects, which usually means larger purchases, upgrades, renovations, or assets that last for years.
Who is eligible and who can apply for Capital Project grants?
Capital Project grants are for eligible not-for-profit organizations in B.C.
Your organization generally needs to:
- Be a not-for-profit or eligible community service co-op
- Have received a Community Gaming Grant in recent years
- Be in good standing
- Have a clear community benefit
- Have volunteers involved in the organization or its programs
- Show that your project is ready and needed

What do Capital Project grants fund?
Capital Project grants can support four main types of projects:
- Facilities: New builds, renovations, repairs, accessibility upgrades, kitchens, bathrooms, elevators, roofs, and more.
- Community infrastructure: Public spaces like parks, trails, docks, playgrounds, and recreation areas.
- Acquisitions: Long-term assets such as vehicles, vans, buses, equipment, technology, and property.
