Anyone who volunteers with any sort of organisation knows fundraising is the hardest part of any project. If it was not for Community Foundations, Businesses, Corporations, Service Clubs generous individuals etc. many projects would never get off the ground. In our area the Columbia Basin Trust is one of the greatest benfactors to many projects. The East Kootenay Credit Union just awarded their Community Grant to the Community Theatre for a great chair lift project which will make their productions and other entertainment that happens in The Studio Stage Door Theatre more accessible to those who cannot manage the stairs.
Another grant source that announced their recent recipients is the Real Estate Foundation of BC
http://www.realestatefoundation.com/grants/grants_approved/april2011 Looking through the list of recipients over the last few years it appears Cranbrook could take advantage of this source for a worthy project.
Volunteer Week was celebrated this last week and this post is to thank all those hard working individuals who write the grant applications, those who make the difficult decisions as to who should be awarded and those who make the funds available.
THANK YOU!
