Under the Fonds communautaire Écoprojets, la Ville de Vaudreuil-Dorion offers a grant of up to $5,000 per project, taxes included, subject to the availability of funds.

A citizen, citizens' group, non-profit organization or institution may submit one application per year to the Fonds communautaire Écoprojets. The call for submissions for 2025 will be issued shortly.

In 2024, three projects were selected by the selection committee, including a Garden Brigade in the parks by the Atelier paysan, the implementation of composting at Papillon-Bleu Primary School, Saint-Jean-Baptiste pavilion, and the creation of shaded areas to allow for better use of the outdoor classroom at Brind'Amour Primary School.
