Win an Outdoor Recreation Fund grant: How to craft proposals that shine
The fourth intake for the Outdoor Recreation Fund of BC is officially open. We know—competition is fierce, and staring down a blank application form can feel daunting. But you don't have to doit alone!
Join us on Tuesday, November 24 at 12:00 PM PST for a practical, engaging webinar designed specifically for BC’s outdoor recreation clubs, volunteers, and non-profit fundraisers. Whether you're dreaming up a major trail overhaul or applying for your first community grant, we’re here to help you write a strong proposal.
What’s on the agenda?
We’re cutting through the jargon to share insider strategies straight from the source. Our panel features ORCBC Grant Program Manager Tomke Augustin, alongside past grant winners who have been in your boots and secured the funding.
We will cover:
What’s new for the 2027 intake and what the grant committee really looks for.
Mastering the art of alignment: How to perfectly match your project to funder requirements.
Storytelling & writing tips that make your application rise to the top of the pile.
The power of partnerships: Why collaboration and community need are important.
Hear from the experts:
Brian Harder (Backcountry Horsemen of BC) will talk about how a smart partnership with the Friends of Manning Park brought an essential equestrian trail back to life in the Cascade Mountains.
Tim deGrace (Bella Coola Resource Society) will share how he’s won grants for smaller, community-focused projects.
