COQUITLAM, B.C., Aug. 25, 2022 – Starting next week, Coquitlam organizations will have an opportunity to apply for financial support from the City through the Spirit of Coquitlam Grant program.

Coquitlam is accepting applications Sept. 1 to Oct. 3 at www.coquitlam.ca/spiritgrant  for the grant program, which supports registered not-for profit organizations serving Coquitlam residents. 

Updates to Spirit of Coquitlam Grant Program 

Since their launch in 2002, Spirit of Coquitlam Grants have helped hundreds of organizations host events, purchase equipment or complete initiatives or capital projects that benefit Coquitlam residents. 

The City awards Spirit of Coquitlam Grants twice a year. The fall 2022 application period targets projects taking place early next year, as well as events planned for spring and summer 2023.

To be eligible for a Spirit of Coquitlam Grant, projects must take place in Coquitlam, primarily benefit Coquitlam residents, be sustainable beyond the grant funding, and have outcomes that align with the City’s strategic goals. Applicants must also be in good financial standing with the City.

Individual grant amounts will vary based on the category and project. Details about the grant and application process are available at www.coquitlam.ca/spiritgrant.

This year, the City is also hosting two webinars designed to help organizations understand the grant criteria, application process and requirements. Details on those sessions are available on the grant website. Applicants are also encouraged to contact the Grant Coordinators at communitygrant@coquitlam.ca or 604-927-3538 to discuss their application before completing. 

Timing for Grant Awards

The City will review applications in October and November. Spirit of Coquitlam Grant recommendations will be presented to Council for approval in December and successful applicants will receive funding by early 2023. 

The next intake for the Spirit of Coquitlam grant is planned for March 2023, with funds intended to be distributed in the summer.
