Woodfibre LNG grants open for local charities and non-profits

Woodfibre LNG has announced the opening of the fall intake of Woodfibre LNG’s Community Partnership Program for 2023.

Woodfibre LNG’s Community Partnership Program supports non-profit organizations that make important contributions to the local community through sports and recreation; health and wellness; arts and culture; and local search and rescue and marine safety. Local charity groups and non-profits can apply for up to $5,000 of funding by October 13, 2023. Those interested can apply here and funding recipients will be announced in October.

During the spring intake, WLNG provided $151,000 in funding to over 40 local non-profit organizations, which enabled these groups to accomplish a wide range of objectives, from rescuing and caring for local animals to supporting youth sports and recreation and nurturing the growth of pickleball within our community.

“Woodfibre LNG’s Community Partnership Program has been supporting hardworking non-profit organizations in Squamish for many years, and it remains a top priority for us to continue to support the important work of local non-profit organizations in the community. We look forward to receiving your submissions and to continuing to support excellent community programming in Squamish,” said Christine Kennedy, president of Woodfibre LNG.

Rob, Station Leader, RCM-SAR Station Number 4, said Woodfibre has come up to the plate over and over again with donations year after year and it’s much appreciated. “The funding helped buy a cash register – thanks to Woodfibre LNG we now have a new, faster way for customers visiting our gift shop to pay for their purchases,” said Julie, Chair, Squamish General Hospital Auxiliary Society.

“Funding is really important to us because we want to provide ice time for our junior curlers and those new to curling too. We also have lots of repairs that need to be done over the years to maintain our rink,” said Don, Treasurer, Howe Sound Curling Club.
