Action

Important Update! Our Stewardship Grant has undergone an update to better integrate
with other HCTF grant programs and is now called Action Grant.

Thank you for your interest in Action Grants. Intake for applications is now closed.
The next opportunity to apply will be late winter 2025.

Action Grants support projects that directly involve people and communities to change behaviours and/or practices leading to positive and measurable conservation outcomes in British Columbia. Projects should work to create solutions or sustainable practices, or mitigate human-caused impacts to prevent or reduce impacts to species or ecosystems.

Goals of the Grant:

• Influencing change in behaviours and/or practices
• Implementing actions by collaborating with individuals, organizations, or communities

• How much funding can we apply for?

  Eligible expenses up to $50,000. Grant completion must be within 2 years of approval. 80% of grant will be issued up front and 20% once completed and final summary of work is submitted.
