Each year, the City of Saint John proudly supports local organizations, businesses and property owners through its Municipal Grants Program. The Municipal Grants Program supports the City of Saint John in its ongoing pursuit to be a community of choice and promote economic health to residents and visitors. These grants are intended to strengthen our city and its residents by supporting community services, recreation, wellness, culture, art, events, environment, heritage and beautification.
Applicants must read the eligibility criteria and application guidelines before applying for a municipal grant. Applications open in December upon approval of Saint John Common Council.
