Resident Directed Grants (ReDi Grants) support projects that benefit the broad community and public good by providing flexible support for community projects that incorporate resident input in funding decisions.

ReDi Grants is a program of Columbia Basin Trust and is delivered in partnership with local governments and First Nations. Program funds are distributed annually so delivery partners can select and fund projects in accordance with overall guidelines that are established by the Trust.

Proposals are accepted annually and must be submitted through the online application system.

The 2026 intake will open on January 5, 2026. The updated Application and Workbook will be uploaded once the intake opens. In preparation for the 2026 launch, we recommend reviewing and familiarizing yourself with the 2025 Pre-Application Workbook and Application Guide. The 2026 format will remain the same, so this will help you understand the requirements and ensure you’re ready when the intake opens.

We also recommend reviewing the 2025/2026 Approved Projects to see what types of projects have been supported in the past.

Stay tuned for further information.
