Cultural Spaces Grant Program - Capital Grants

The Capital Grants support Vancouver-based arts and cultural organizations, operating as non-profit societies, co-operatives, registered charities, or Indigenous groups, in undertaking significant infrastructure projects. These grants assist with building improvements, accessibility upgrades, and urgent safety repairs, with funding up to $250,000 for sizable projects and $25,000 for smaller initiatives. The program emphasizes capacity building, knowledge sharing, and urgent intervention in cases of immediate safety concerns. The program aims to sustain and enhance Vancouver’s cultural ecosystems by providing critical funding that ensures long-term viability and inclusivity of arts spaces. Successful projects will demonstrate clear alignment with community needs, accessibility standards, and safety regulations, ultimately contributing toward a resilient, vibrant cultural landscape.
