Grant Funding Program
In 2021 we launched our first Community Grant Funding Program to support local non profits with health-care related initiatives. The first year was so successful that it has become an annual program.
This program is funded thanks to the generous support of the Touchet Family Foundation and community supporters. Local non-profit groups and partners with health-care projects are encouraged to apply for the annual grants.
Applications will be accepted between January 15 and February 28, 2026 for the Whistler Health Care Foundation’s annual Community Grant Funding Program.
All applicants must meet
funding requirements:
- The initiative must be health care related.
- The grant(s) should benefit residents, workers or visitors to the Sea to Sky region.
- The grant(s) are to be used in the renovation or expansion of health care facilities, the purchase of equipment, public education, events, speaker services or conference initiatives that support improved health care in our community.
Applicants must meet the qualified recipients’ criteria or have an approved sponsoring organization as outlined in the application.
Grants of up to $15,000 are awarded per application
