Columbia Valley Local Conservation Fund
Regional District of East Kootenay
Grant
Columbia Valley, British Columbia, Canada
In partnership with KCP, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) provides funding for projects in the Columbia Valley region that benefit conservation through the Columbia Valley Local Conservation Fund (CVLCF).
The purpose of the CVLCF is to provide local financial support for important projects that will contribute to the conservation of our valuable natural areas; one step towards restoring and preserving a healthy environment. The intent is to provide funding for conservation projects that are not the existing responsibility of the federal, provincial or local governments.
Eligibility
Proponents must be a registered not-for-profit organization, First Nations band, or local government. Unqualified groups or organizations may partner with a qualified organization.
