Community Resiliency Investment Program – Columbia Basin Wildfire Resiliency Initiative

Applicants must be located in the Columbia Basin Trust region.
Eligible applicants include:
• Registered non-profits from communities with identified wildfire risk reduction need;
• Legally incorporated society-run fire departments and brigades;
• First Nations communities;
• Post-secondary institutions; and
• Local governments (municipalities or regional districts).

Applicants operating outside of the Basin must partner with eligible applicants in the Basin and demonstrate that proposed projects reduce wildfire risk to communities in the Basin.

The project must demonstrate that it will directly benefit the Basin or a Basin community, and that the primary beneficiary is neither the applicant nor solely the members of a membership-based organization.
