Grant and Funding Programs Offered by City of Surrey

The City of Surrey is a municipal funder that supports non-profit groups and organizations through annual community grants. Its program helps local organizations deliver services, projects and events that benefit Surrey residents, with a published application process, eligibility criteria, funding limits and an online grants portal. In the funding ecosystem, Surrey plays a direct place-based role by backing work that is important to neighbourhoods, volunteers and residents but may be too local for larger provincial or federal programs. The city connects public dollars with local benefit, requires applicants to demonstrate need and community value, and gives organizations a predictable annual route to request support. This helps community groups plan responsibly, test practical ideas and build stronger services close to residents.
