Funding

If your local government received funding from the Canada Community-Building Fund in 2024, it’s time to submit the Annual Expenditure Report. Reports are due June 1, 2025.

Local governments that received funding through any stream of the Canada Community-Building Fund in 2024 are required to report back on project activity and spending. This includes the Community Works Fund and Metro Vancouver Regional Fund program streams, and the pooled program stream, the Strategic Priorities Fund.

Applications are now being accepted for the 2025/26 Community to Community (C2C) program. The C2C program supports the advancement of First Nation/local government reconciliation and relationship building.  

Each month, we provide an update on funding programs administered by UBCM along with and information on other programs, events, and resources of interest to local governments and First Nations.
