Campbell River Awards Community Grants

Campbell River Council has approved awarding a total of $820,600 in Community Grants to 18 local organizations.

The Community Grant program supports arts, culture, and community services and is intended to enhance the quality of life of residents in Campbell River.

The total grant budget for 2025 has been maintained at last year’s levels and all organizations received their requested funds, which were the same as 2024 levels unless otherwise requested.

Last year, Council approved the Financial Assistance Policy (FAP) which streamlines the grant process, increasing transparency and accountability to Campbell River taxpayers.

To assist organizations with the transition to this new policy, 2025 grants were awarded under former community grant criteria.

The FAP governs all financial assistance under one policy, including grants, leases and facility rentals to non-profit organizations.

The City will be offering workshops for organizations in the spring and meetings to assist non-profits with the transition and the application process under the new FAP.
