Funding Sources For British Columbia Communities

The following pages are the results of a partnership between the BC Rural Team, BC Rural Network, BC Healthy Communities , Canadian Cancer Society’s Community Capacity Building Strategy, Fraser Basin Council/Smart Planning for Communities, and Community Futures of Greater Trail. These pages provide information on sources of funding and support for community development in BC. Most of the programs listed are funding-oriented, however, programs that provide other forms of support and assistance are also included. The primary focus is support for social, economic, and environmental community development initiatives in rural areas, however the programs are not necessarily exclusive to rural. Contact information for each program is provided to facilitate direct access to current and updated program information.

Another source of program information is CivicInfo BC and the Local Government Management Association of BC, which has a grant database on the CivicInfo BC website that lists grants available to BC local governments.
