FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. – The City of Prince George is now accepting letters of intent (LOI) for its Limited Duration Two-Year Operating grant until January 15, 2026.
The grant provides registered not-for-profits funding for overall operating costs for up to two years, with allocations of up to 30 per cent of the organization’s operating budget, to a maximum of $30,000. The City has $131,576 available for the 2026 Limited Duration Two-Year Operating grant stream and aims to award it to between five and eight organizations.
Starting in 2026, funding will be prioritized for organizations that align with the grant’s focus areas:
- A safe, healthy, and clean community
- Equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility
While priority is given to these focus areas, organizations not directly aligned are still welcome to apply. New eligibility requirements also aim to support smaller not-for-profits to build local capacity and ensure a more equitable and diverse delivery of community services. Starting in the new year, the following eligibility criteria apply:
- Must have an operating budget of less than $250,000
- Must directly impact more than 100 residents annually through programs or services
- Must offer ongoing programming
- Must demonstrate partnership with at least one other organization on an ongoing basis
- Must not have a low-cost or subsidized lease agreement in place with the City
- Must not have a standing grant agreement
The myPG Community grant, Quick Response Micro grant, SportPG Hosting grant, and Capacity Building grant will be available for applications in January 2026. More details about the grant program, eligibility, and application deadlines are available on the City website. The City’s community grants program is reviewed and refined annually with support from local not-for-profit organizations.
