Spark Fund

What is the Spark Fund?

In alignment with the transformative 25×25 initiative, the BC Parks Foundation is offering funding to community-serving groups that engage members of underserved communities in outdoor activities within BC Provincial Parks. Eligible groups can apply for funding between $2,000 and $10,000 to support their projects.

This initiative is rooted in a commitment to equitable access. Groups should be motivated by one or both of the two following criteria:

• Facilitating new experiences and accessibility by spending time outside in nature.
• Promoting stewardship by collecting nature observations.

Safety should remain a top priority for all projects.
