For Communities
Evergreen’s Common Grounds Grants are offered to support community groups in protecting and restoring urban green spaces. All proposed projects must be open to the community, should have a strong volunteer-involvement component, and must be located entirely on publicly accessible lands.
Community groups must be working in partnership with their local municipality or other institutional partner such as federal or provincial government agencies, crown corporations or publicly funded institutions (such as a university or hospital).
Projects on school grounds are not eligible for the grant programs below, but schools or school groups may be eligible if they are undertaking projects in parks or other publicly accessible lands, in partnership with other community organizations.
