The Trust supports efforts by the people of the Basin to create a legacy of social, economic and environmental well-being and to achieve greater self-sufficiency for present and future generations
The Community Development Program aims to support projects that address community challenges and opportunities within the Columbia Basin Trust's region. This grant program encourages residents and local organizations to contribute to the well-being of their communities by focusing on aspects of social, economic, and environmental importance. Projects selected for potential funding must align with the Trust's mission to enhance the area's prosperity, sustainability, and health. Applicants are invited to inquire about their project's eligibility, from which selected projects will be invited to apply.
Projects that exhibit active or completed fundraising initiatives are more favorably considered for funding. Preference is extended to projects that have secured financial support from the applying entity or other contributors.
