grants
The Kootenay Co-op Community Grants Program offers up to $500 for community projects or initiatives that help us towards our Vision: We envision thriving communities with resilient food systems, where all people have access to affordable food that is healthy for our bodies, our communities, and the Earth.
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 and programs can receive a maximum of one Kootenay Co‑op Community Grant per 12-month period. Organizations must acknowledge the Kootenay Co‑op’s contribution in their project materials.
Application Process:
- Complete the Community Grant Application online by the deadline. If you need more space to explain your project, additional materials are welcome at Customer Service or electronically at community@kootenay.coop.
- A committee of Kootenay Co-op staff, Board and members will review applications and make grant awards on a quarterly basis.
