COMMUNITY SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM MANDATE
Columbia Power believes that everyone has a responsibility to contribute to the well-being and advancement of communities in the area in which they live or conduct business. The Community Sponsorship Program is one way in which CPC works to help build strong partnerships and vibrant communities across the Columbia Basin.
The Columbia Basin encompasses a vast area with many communities. To achieve the widest distribution of funds within the region, CPC's Community Sponsorship Program looks to provide smaller sources of support to as many eligible projects as possible.
The Community Sponsorship Program has benefited a wide range of community initiatives including those focusing on:
Environment
Youth
Arts and Culture
Heritage
Education
Sports/Recreation
First Nations
Before completing an application, please review the following criteria to determine whether you are eligible or funding support through Columbia Power.
