About grants for non profit events…
By Bill Bennett
Kootenay East MLA
1. As part of B.C.’s Event Hosting Strategy, government has allocated $250,000 to funding opportunities for non-profit groups to encourage community events that strengthen volunteer capacity. This is a good opportunity for non-profit groups in the East Kootenay who hold events.
2. The initiative will provide a stimulus for new events or to assist existing events that are currently ineligible for other provincial government funding. Events must attract visitors from elsewhere, be accessible to broader community and have demonstrated local support.
3. Awards are $5,000 maximum and are on a first-come, first served basis. Eligibility criteria and further details available at https://www.cscd.gov.bc.ca/arts_culture/EventHostBC.htm
