The first intake for the Strategic Priorities Fund under the new 2024-2034 Build Communities Strong Fund-Community Stream is closed. The most recent intake will make up to $125 million available for eligible local government infrastructure and capacity-building projects in BC. Successful applicants may receive up to 100% of net-eligible costs of approved projects to a maximum of $7 million.
Applicants will be notified about the status of their projects once they have all been reviewed.
The Strategic Priorities Fund is an application-based program available to local governments and other recipients outside of the Metro Vancouver Regional District. The funding is intended to support infrastructure and capacity-building projects that are either large in scale, regional in impact, or innovative, and that align with the program's objectives of supporting productivity and economic growth, a clean environment, and strong cities and communities.
