Supporting People and Communities — Created by the people, for the people, the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) serves the residents of the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin. Working closely with people who live in the Basin, CBT assists communities in addressing their needs by:

• providing resources and funding;
• focusing on local priorities and issues;
• bringing people together around key issues;
• providing useful, credible, accessible information;
• encouraging collaboration and partnerships; and,
• seeking ongoing input from Basin residents.

The CBT provides funding and grants through a variety of programs, including Arts, Culture, and Heritage, Business Advocacy, Environment, Scholarships and Community Development. In addition, CBT supports regional initiatives such as Climate Change Adaptation, Water Stewardship, Literacy, Youth Engagement, and Land Conservation.
