These most recent grants, ranging from $400 to $6,000, will provide much-needed funding to 24 diverse and deserving community groups from throughout the Kootenays.
East Kootenay organizations receiving funds include: Columbia Valley Youth Soccer Association; Kimberley Independent School Society; Meadowbrook Community Association; Wildsight Invermere; Windermere Elementary School PAC.
Along with the community grants, the Foundation is also rewarding youth for their commitment to community, leadership and learning by awarding $38,700 in educational awards and summer camp sponsorships.
