Through the ministry’s capital project grant program, an organization can apply for funds to build a new facility, or renovate or maintain an existing one. To be eligible for a capital grant, organizations must be non-profit, benefit local communities and deliver programs established and maintained by its volunteers. The total cost of the project must exceed $20,000 and the organization’s contribution must be equal to – or exceed – the grant funding. The facility must be open to the public when completed.

Capital project gaming grant applications are accepted each year from Oct. 1 to Nov. 30 and grants are approved by March 31 of the following year. Revenue for community gaming grants is generated from commercial gaming conducted by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation on behalf of the Province.
