The City of Wrenford is working to lower greenhouse gas emissions, cut waste, and protect the Tamsin River. You can apply for an environmental sustainability grant to fund projects that make a measurable difference in your neighbourhood or business.
What we fund
Grants are awarded to projects that directly reduce environmental impact. We look for ideas that are practical, community-led, and able to finish within one year. Typical projects include:
- Tree planting and native habitat restoration
- Community composting or food-waste diversion programs
- Energy audits and retrofits for community buildings
- River and creek cleanups, including erosion control
- Workshops on water conservation, gardening, or low-carbon living
Who can apply
You can apply if you are a Wrenford resident, a registered neighbourhood association, a non-profit organisation, or a local business. Groups must provide a project coordinator who will handle the budget and final report.
How much funding is available
| Project type | Maximum grant amount |
|---|---|
| Small neighbourhood or personal projects | up to $5,000 |
| Community-wide or non-profit initiatives | up to $15,000 |
| Business-led or multi-organisation projects | up to $30,000 |
Application deadline and timeline
The next application window opens on January 15, 2027, and closes at 4:30 p.m. on March 31, 2027. We review complete applications on a rolling basis until the funds are gone. Successful applicants will be notified by May 15, 2027. All projects must be completed and reported by October 31, 2027.
How to apply
Submit your application through the Wrenford eGrants portal. You will need to provide a brief project description, a budget, a timeline, and a plan for how you will measure success. If you need help, drop a note to [email protected] or call Wrenford 311. Paper forms are available at the Service Wrenford counter in City Hall.
Rules and reporting
Grant recipients must acknowledge City funding on all promotional materials and event signage. You must submit a short completion report and final receipts within thirty days of finishing the project. The City reserves the right to adjust funding amounts or pause the program if demand exceeds the available budget.
