A little neighbourly encouragement!
The City of Kingston is encouraging residents to unite through the Neighbourhood Activation Fund.
The program supports local events, such as block parties and pop-up movie nights, to strengthen community connections. Launched as a pilot in spring 2023, the fund provides in-kind support for eligible costs like insurance and facility bookings.
Funding is available for three types of events: street-level events, including block parties, can receive up to $500; community-led neighbourhood events can get up to $1,500; and pop-up movie nights can access up to $2,500.
Residents are invited to apply for funding by completing the application form, with notification provided within 15 business days.
For those needing the application in an alternate format, they can contact the City via email at ContactUs@CityofKingston.ca or call 613-546-0000. Let’s create memorable moments together and make Kingston an even better place to live!
