Osprey Community Foundation is inviting community organizations and individuals to apply for our 2024 grants. Criteria and funding amounts vary for each granting stream so check out our website at www.ospreycommunityfoundation.ca for more details or give us a call at 250 352 3643 or email ed@ospreycommunityfoundation.ca

Donations to Osprey, small or large, are pooled in a permanently endowed fund and it’s the income generated from this fund that make Osprey grants possible. Think of it like growing an apple orchard: donors plant the trees and the orchard grows with each gift, then every year the apples are picked and awarded to the many charitable causes and programs in our community.

From neighbourhood gardening tours to watershed monitoring, from support groups for parents with teenage children to music therapy for residents of long-term care homes, Osprey’s grants are here to help build a vibrant and inclusive community.
