Grant Opportunities

Sustainability Grants (up to $2000) are available to Vernon residents and organizations who want to develop community engagement initiatives that address climate change and environmentally sustainability in our community. For-profit businesses are not eligible for the Sustainability Grant Program.

The scope of acceptable projects is broad and creative initiatives from all disciplines are welcome. Successful projects will address climate change and environmental sustainability in the Vernon area and preference may be given to projects that engage the broader community to maximize impacts. For project ideas, check out Vernon's Climate Action Plan

Applications are being accepted from May 21 - June 25. 

The GoByBike Community Partner Program provides small grants (e.g., $250, $500) to Vernon organizations, community groups, and for-profit businesses to organize and host celebration events during GoByBike Week. 

GoByBike Week is a fantastic opportunity to engage with the community, support environmental initiatives, and encourage healthier lifestyles. 

As a Community Partner, you can host events, offer incentives for riders, create a group bike ride, or organize a bike clinic during the spring 2025 GoByBike Week (May 31-June 6). 

Applications for the spring intake are now closed.
