Resources: Funding Options
Community Futures Funding Sources
This link leads to a listing of over 200 community programs that is searchable by category, sector, and organization. The site is the result 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. 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 locales. Contact information for each program is provided to facilitate direct access to current and updated program information.
