🎉We are thrilled to share the incredible news of the 2025 Community Grant recipients!🙌
Each year, the Campbell River Community Foundation provides Community Grants to a variety of organizations in our community. Our funding is regenerative – sourced from the revenue of our endowment fund which provides us with a source of funding every year. Started in 1992 with just $5000 of seed funding, the fund has grown over the years and is currently at $4.1 million. This creates income that we turn around and distribute to community organizations working to enrich life in Campbell River. Because of our donors and fundholders, we continue to increase our impact and support more organizations and more initiatives year after year.
2025 approved grants are making a difference for:
🧒children & youth
🍎food security
👴👵seniors
🧘♀️mental health and wellness
🙏grief support
⛑️program safety enhancements
🏗️upgrades,

We received more requests than we could fund. As a result, there are a few remaining initiatives that are seeking funding. We’ve already done the work – we vetted the applications and are seeking community partners to fund the remaining applications.
