If you have an idea that focuses on arts and culture, this program could help support it. Grants from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance (CKCA)—funded by Columbia Basin Trust and managed by the West Kootenay Regional Arts Council—are available for all art disciplines, for both individuals and arts and culture organizations.
Individuals and organizations must be based in the Columbia Basin region: see the map here.
Applications for the 2025/26 intake opened January 12, 2026, and close February 20, 2026, or March 6, 2026, depending on the program.

Note: Adjudication results will be mailed or emailed to you within approximately 16 weeks of your program deadline. Your project may begin any time on or after June 1 of the funding year; however, you assume the financial risk of beginning your project before being notified of your funding results.
Do you have an active grant from prior to the 2025 funding year? If so, email [email protected] or call 250-352-2421 to make arrangements for your reporting. We have new grant software and you no longer have access to your old CKCA grant dashboard.
