The City’s grant-in-aid program is being delivered in partnership with the Comox Valley Community Foundation (CVCF). The City contributed to the CVCF's grant program, and community service organizations applied directly to the CVCF.

This year, the CVCF distributed $600,520 to 44 organizations through its granting programs. Of these, seven organizations received a combination of CVCF and City grant-in-aid funding. This joint funding helped ensure several high-impact programs addressing food security, mental health and inclusion could move forward. These projects support a wide range of community needs.
