Applications for the 2024 DMSMRI Small Grants Program are now closed.

There was enthusiastic interest in the grants program this year, which means our available funds were awarded more quickly than in some years past. If you weren't able to apply to the Small Grants Program this year we encourage you to have your applications ready for when intake begins again next year (likely in early June). Thank you to all those who applied in 2024!

​

The Daniel McIntyre / St. Matthews Revitalization Inc. Community Small Grants program was established in 2007 to support smaller projects that meet a need in the community and help connect residents with each other. They are available to organizations located within, or that serve, the Daniel McIntyre and St. Matthews neighbourhoods of Winnipeg.

Please note that projects located outside the boundaries of Daniel McIntyre and St. Matthews, or that operate city-wide, are not eligible to receive funding.

Individuals who wish to apply will have to partner with a community organization. Our sister organization, the West End Resource Centre (Daniel McIntyre / St. Matthews Community Association), may be a good match.

Grant amounts range from $500 to a maximum of $5,000 in a single year.  

Projects must address one or more of the following Neighbourhood Renewal Fund categories and involve as much public and volunteer participation as possible:

• Capacity Building: Outreach activities such as consultations, newsletters and community meetings.

• Neighbourhood Stability: Beautification activities such as community gardens, murals and clean-ups.

• Social and recreational activities such as festivals and after school activities.

• Community Economic Development: Skill building activities, training, and/or employment/volunteer development.

If you have already received a small grant, you can find the final report template here (Word / PDF).
