The Community Foundation of the Kootenay Rockies (CFKR) is seeking community organizations and non-profits for its 2025 granting process.
Organizations in Elkford, Sparwood, Fernie, Cranbrook and the surrounding areas are invited to apply before February 15.
“Our annual granting continues to grow, with over $150,000 available for granting in 2025, thanks to the generosity of our donors and their commitment to sustainable charitable giving through permanently invested endowment funds,” said Lynnette Wray, CFKR Executive Director.
Applicants must be CRA-qualified donee, such as a registered charity, or be in an agency agreement with a qualified donee.
Grant applications must also demonstrate a direct, positive benefit to residents.
“Most CFKR annual grants range from a few hundred dollars up to $2,000 and support local non-profits in making our communities even better places to live, work, and play,” said the CFKR.
The CFKR’s grants cover a broad range of projects including animal welfare, arts/culture/heritage, education, environment, mental health/addictions, outdoor recreation/physical activity/sports, programs for equity-deserving populations (e.g., Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQ+, women, diverse abilities, seniors, children/youth), and social/health/housing services.
