Campbell River Community Foundation

Community Grants Open NOW!

Supporting non-profit groups is a big part of what makes your Campbell River Community Foundation such an important part of our community.

We are pleased to announce that applications for our Community Grant Program will be accepted from now until May 3, 2021.  

Neighbourhood Small Grants

Do you have an idea that connects people socially or
helps them share skills or talents with each other?

We are thrilled to announce that we are now accepting applications for Neighbourhood Small Grants.  Like last year, we are providing small grants of up to $500 for projects that connect communities socially, or that share skills and talents — whether physically distanced or online. And yes, a grant means you don’t need to pay back this funding — no matter the outcome.

A Way to Give Back to Campbell River

We bring people together who care about our community. As a local, independent, volunteer-driven, charitable organization; our mission is to enrich life in Campbell River. We do this by facilitating philanthropy, by helping people help others.

The generosity of our community is truly inspiring. Learn more about what we do and how you can contribute to your community foundation in this short video, featuring leaders from Campbell River:

2020…A Year Like No Other 

The world has changed for all of us but, despite the challenges, we are reminded about what is most important. For many, it is connection, family/friends, nature, helping others. We are pleased to share with you how the Campbell River Community Foundation has regrouped and refocused during this most unsettling time. We are doing our best to “help people help others” in our community.
