The Community Enhancement Partnership Program (CEPP) supports efforts to beautify and celebrate neighbourhoods. Residents and groups can apply for a grant to plan, organize and implement small projects, activities and celebrations as a way to improve the conditions and appearance of their community.  

The applicants match the City of Surrey grant with an equal valued contribution of volunteer time, donated materials, services, and/or cash. More... 

Grant Categories

There are two types of grants available through the program:

1) Small Project Grants

    These grants assist resident groups in planning, organizing and implementing projects
    that directly improve the physical appearance of a neighbourhood.  As examples, a neighbourhood entrance
    feature, community landscaping or neighbourhood street furniture would fall under this category.
 
2) Partnership Grants

    These grants support residents and groups in encouraging community activism and building stronger
    relationships through activity. As examples, a neighbourhood festival and celebration, a street clean-up or
    graffiti paint-out day or a neighbourhood improvement campaign would fall under this category.

Details are outlined within the Program Overview and Guidelines.

Eligibility

Any neighbourhood based residents, groups, or associations can apply, as long as they encourage neighbourhood participation and do not discriminate. 

Details are outlined within the Program Overview and Guidelines.
