A grassroots fund for the Cowichan Valley - supporting local families, organizations, and initiatives that need a helping hand.
The Cowichan Connects Community Fund is a grassroots micro-grant program that distributes funds raised through our events and drives directly to local families, organizations, and community initiatives that need support.
We believe that the people who know best what the community needs are the community members themselves. Our fund is designed to be accessible, transparent, and genuinely helpful - not bureaucratic.
The Community Fund launches formally in Year 2 as our fundraising capacity grows. In Year 1, we support community needs on a case-by-case basis through direct assistance.
"Every dollar raised in the Cowichan Valley stays in the Cowichan Valley. That's our promise."
