CBT Community Initiatives & Affected Areas Programs

February 15, 2016 (4:00pm - 4:00pm)

The Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs – the Trust's oldest programs – support projects identified as priorities within individual communities.  The programs are designed to help address the needs of Basin communities.  They are flexible and incorporate community-based funding decisions to better meet local priorities.  The Regional District of East Kootenay delivers these programs in the East Kootenay region on behalf of the Trust.

Applications from groups and organizations seeking funding for their community projects are accepted only once per year from January to mid-February.  For 2016, the application period is January 11 – February 15 at 9:00 am.  During this period, the application form is available on the RDEK website.  To have an application form mailed to you, please contact Tina Hlushak at  250-489-2791 or 1-888-478-7335 (toll-free)  Email:  thlushak@rdek.bc.ca.
