Building community through arts, culture, and heritage.
If you are hosting an arts, culture, or heritage activity in Surrey, you can apply for a Cultural Grant. By celebrating our diversity, we build trust and connection in our city.
Cultural activities can mean different things to different people, so this grant covers a wide variety of activities run by not-for-profit organizations.
Eligibility:
- Registered or non-registered not-for-profit organizations hosting an arts, culture, or heritage event can apply. You do not need to be an incorporated society.
- Activities covered can include: music, dance, theatre, literary, visual, media, inter-disciplinary, heritage, community-based and Indigenous arts and cultural celebrations and events that reflect Surrey’s diverse heritage and community.
- Applicant organizations are able to apply for up to one Cultural Grant per year
