Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) - Seed Grants
BC Hydro
About
The Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP) is a partnership of BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations, and public stakeholders, to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams.
Use our Seed Grant to grow your idea. Seed Grants are aimed at helping you explore the feasibility of your project idea and could be the first step towards developing a larger project. Up to a maximum of $5,000 is available from the FWCP for project ideas that align with our regional action plans.
Seed Grants are intended to offset costs to fill information gaps, explore project feasibility, and prepare technical information to support a Large Grant application in a subsequent year.
Funding
Up to $5,000
Application Period
Available all year while funding is available
Eligible Applicants
Projects that conserve and enhance fish and wildlife in watersheds impacted by BC Hydro dams.
Eligible Projects
Each FWCP region has a set of action plans that identify the priority actions eligible for FWCP grants (see the action tables in each action plan).
We fund five types of projects and our action plan tables identify priority actions by project type:
research and information acquisition;
habitat-based actions;
species-based actions;
monitoring and evaluation; and
land securement.
Your proposed project must align with one or more priority action(s) in any of our regional action plans.
