About
In this funding stream, we focus on supporting smaller/rural communities to build economic development capacity and support regional partnerships in economic development throughout the Southern Interior. We hope to serve as a catalyst for new economic development initiatives, and we know that sometimes a community needs a first-in funder to seed projects and encourage other funders. Our goal is to:
Enhance the capacity of southern interior communities to fulfill their economic development aspirations and knowledge.
Support local and regional economic development projects within the Southern Interior.
Facilitate strategic partnerships and encourage collaboration between communities and economic development agencies.
Our Funding Intakes will generally be of three main types:
SMALL SCALE PROJECTS (up to $25K)
Priority given to communities with < 7,500 residents.
LARGE SCALE PROJECTS (up to $75K)
Priority given to communities with
< 25,000 residents.
COLLABORATIVE/REGIONAL PROJECTS
To encourage collaboration between local governments and First Nations, as well as cross-regional initiatives.
