REFBC Grants Support Indigenous Governance and Food Security

The Real Estate Foundation of BC is pleased to announce six new grants totaling $776,672.

REFBC’s Board of Governors approved the grants at their December 2024 meeting.

Our grants support law and policy reform, applied research, community engagement, and professional and public education to advance sustainability, equity, and social justice in land use across BC.

In our work, we are committed to upholding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). We prioritize grants to Indigenous-led organizations, as well as projects that support justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Since 1988, REFBC has awarded more than $100 million in grants to strengthen BC communities and protect our shared land and water. The projects we support are led by First Nations, nonprofits, universities, trade associations, and local governments.
