The Columbia Basin Trusts Resident Directed Grants (ReDi Grants) will be opening soon.
ReDi Grants Funding is for meeting community and public needs rather than private needs and the Columbia Basin Trust Act requires Trust funding NOT relieve any level of government of its normal obligations.
ReDi Grants are intended to be flexible and incorporate community-based funding decisions. The programs support local projects that provide additional value to Basin communities and that benefit the broad community and public good.
Program funds are distributed annually to the Trust’s local government partners, in our region it’s the Regional District of East Kootenay who manages the program.
Eligible applicants include registered organizations that are:
• Not-for-profit
• First Nations
• Registered schools
• Local government
Program funds are not to be used to fund basic infrastructure activities such as roads, sewers, water systems, fire services and core services normally provided through government taxation.
In the Regional District of East Kootenay, applications open on January 16, 2023. See the application contact details here.
