Each year, HCTF provides approximately $6M in Enhancement and Restoration Grants for projects benefiting BC’s fish, wildlife and habitats. Proponents seeking HCTF funding for enhancement and restoration work taking place in 2017-18 must submit a proposal through HCTF’s web-based application portal, HCTF Online. The deadline for application submission is Friday, November 4, 2016 at 4:30pm PST. You may submit a proposal anytime between now and the deadline.

To begin your application, review the information on the Enhancement & Restoration Grant Overview, then continue on to the HCTF Online webpage where you will find instructions, examples and additional information to facilitate the application process. From this webpage, you can request a User ID and log on to the online application system.

What happens next?

Over the next few months, technical review committees assess each proposal and make recommendations to the HCTF Board. In early March, the Board meets to make final funding decisions and shortly thereafter a preliminary list of approved projects will be posted on this website. Proponents will then be notified by email of the status of their proposals in mid-March.
