We’re launching another round of Community Granting, bringing together multiple streams of support:
- Cortes Foundation’s Communitas Fund $30,000
Supporting organizational capacity and long-term strength
- Strathcona Regional District Grants-in-Aid - $25,000
Local tax dollars supporting community projects

The Cortes Foundation is launching its first community granting round in support of capacity development using its Community Granting “Communitas” Fund. This fund was set up by a donor that believed in what can happen when community foundations are able to support the core operations and development of key organizations. 

We will use these funds to leverage the SRD Grants-in-Aid funds that help strengthen the important work of our social profit sector.
The Foundation will work with community advisors and the granting committee to recommend projects to Director Mark Vonesch for this year’s Grant-in-Aid.
(You can nominate yourself to join a future advisory st https://cortesfoundation.ca/community-advisory-committee-nomination/).

Stay tuned for the official launch May 11th with deadline June 8th.
