ANNOUNCING: 2021 Annual Grants Recipients

This year, the Squamish Community Foundation (SCF) distributed $66,000 in Annual Grants and $3,000 in scholarship funds.

The SCF was able to offer enhanced Annual Grants funding for 2021, thanks to a contribution from the District of Squamish through the Province of British Columbia’s Safe Restart Program for COVID-19 Response and Recovery projects.

Annual Grants are aimed at supporting community projects in Squamish in the following categories: health, social development, youth, music, environment, recreation, and arts and culture. The SCF also manages grants from the Ron Anderson Memorial and R.W. McIntosh Memorial Scholarships for local graduating secondary school students.
