Woodfibre LNG has announced that it will donate $151,000 to 42 local non-profits in Squamish as part of the first intake of the 2023 Community Partnership Program.

On January 9, 2023, Woodfibre LNG opened its first intake for the Community Partnership Program, inviting Squamish and area non-profits to apply for funding towards their initiatives and programs. The Community Partnership Program aims to support local organizations that make important contributions to the local community through their programs and events in sports, recreation; health and wellness; arts and culture; and local search and rescue and marine safety organizations.

With the Woodfibre LNG project moving forward, the company increased the 2023 budget for the Community Partnership Program and expanded the funding intake cycle to occur twice per year, with recipients only being eligible once per year (unless it is for a different and unrelated project). The food bank, other food security donations and scholarship programming are supported outside the application cycle.

Woodfibre LNG provided funding to the following local non-profits:

Hilltop House Support Society

Technical Evacuation Advanced Aeromedical Society

Howe Sound Marine Rescue Society

Squamish Helping Hands Society

Whistler Blackcomb Foundation Society

“We are pleased to support so many hardworking organizations in Squamish through our Community Partnership Program,” said Christine Kennedy, Woodfibre LNG president. “Woodfibre LNG will be part of the community of Squamish over the long term, and it is a priority for us to support the important work of local non-profit organizations. In our first intake for 2023, we are funding pediatric advanced life support training through the Squamish Hospital Foundation, contributing to Howe Sound Secondary School’s robotics program, outdoor education program and dry grad, supporting the Squamish Community Music Festival and the Business Improvement Association’s Mural Festival and contributing to many other community initiatives.”

The Community Partnership Program funding follows Woodfibre LNG’s commitment to a new $20,000 per year scholarship and bursary program through Howe Sound High School earlier this March. Additionally, Woodfibre LNG has committed to providing $10,000 per year to the Squamish food bank.

The second intake of the Community Partnership Program will open in September 2023. Organizations interested in applying for the second intake can see details here.
