Community Development

Community Development Grant Program

The RDCK Community Development Program was established to support initiatives from non-profit organizations that further the social, economic and environmental well being of the Regional District's residents and organizations. The program may also assist in reducing district tax requisitions with approval from the Board.

Community Development grant funding is provided on an ongoing intake basis, dependent upon balance of funding, by RDCK Area Directors from Area A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, the Town of Creston and Villages of Kaslo, Nakusp, New Denver, Salmo, Silverton and Slocan.

Please review the RDCK Board approved Community Development Program Grants Policy for requirements regarding the disbursement of Community Development Grants before submitting your application.

IMPORTANT: Before applying, applicants MUST first discuss a grant application with the applicable Area Director(s) to ensure they are supportive of the project.
