Eligibility:

Community Grants are available to local organizations for community projects, programs or initiatives.  Successful applications will include specifics about the project and its impact on our local community, alignment with our Vision, the ability of organizer(s) to complete the project, and how our Co-op’s contribution fits within the overall budget.

Organizations must acknowledge the Kootenay Co‑op’s contribution in their project materials.
