Osprey Community Foundation holds an annual Community Grants and Sheba Seniors Grants cycle which typically opens in March and closes in April. Applications are accepted from registered charities and non-profit organizations providing services in Nelson and RDCK areas E & F. We also partner with other organizations to administer different granting opportunities throughout the year. See below for all of our current granting offerings and their intake dates and check back often for new ones!

  • Registered non-profit organizations may now apply to the Foundation without a sponsorship arrangement with a Qualified Donee.
  • Grants to organizations that are not registered charities or listed municipalities may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

"It has been a most interesting year and to have these courses offered via Zoom at a time when we are, and have been, rather isolated has been a double blessing. "
