I Have a Grant

We will typically contact you six to eight weeks after the application deadline to let you know if you were successful or not. For certain programs it could be sooner.

We will mail you your contract two to four weeks after you have been approved for funding.

After we receive your signed contract, we generally issue a cheque within 20 business days. We will mail it to the address you provided on your application form. If you change your address, please notify us as soon as possible.

Sometimes, this cheque will only provide partial funds. Please refer to the payment schedule of your contract.

If you’ve received a grant from us, please include our logo and acknowledge our contribution on project-related materials when possible. This includes websites, brochures, posters and news releases.

For example, you could say either of the following:

• (Recipient) acknowledges the support of Columbia Basin Trust.
• (Project Name) is made possible with funding from Columbia Basin Trust.

We also have plaques and stickers that you can place on physical infrastructure, and can work with you to customize a solution if you have other needs.

Sometimes, you find you can’t stick to what you committed to in your application form and contract. For unforeseen reasons, your direction, budget or timeline has altered.

We understand that circumstances can change. For example, if you discover your project will cost less than expected, you have two choices:

1. Speak to us about changing the scope of your project to use the extra funds.
2. Return the extra funds to us.
