Support Winter Magic by Applying for a Winter Initiatives Grant

The City of Regina invites local businesses, community organizations and residents to get creative to help make the City’s colder months more fun and inclusive. Applications are now being accepted for the 2024-2025 Winter Initiatives Grant (WIG).

Applications are open to all residents, including Community Associations, community-based organizations, businesses and individuals looking to express, experience and embrace winter magic in Regina. A wide variety of initiatives are eligible for funding including art or lighting installations, contests, community events and activities. The City will prioritize submissions that focus on getting residents outdoors; celebrate Regina’s culture, heritage and traditions; and either have never been funded by the WIG or have been previously funded but demonstrate a new feature in their initiative that focuses on accessibility and inclusion.   

A key requirement of the grant is that the funds be used for initiatives happening between December 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025. Requests for funding can range from a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $5,000. Applications will be accepted until September 12, 2024.

The grant program, which totals $50,000, supports the City’s Winter City Strategy which promotes working together and embracing the opportunities our prairie winters offer. Our goal is to enhance Regina’s winter-built environment, community inclusion, accessibility and outdoor activities during the coldest months of the year.
