RBC Future Launch Community Challenge - Accepting Applications May 22 - Sept 18 2019

Today’s problems need more than yesterday’s solutions. We need bold new thinking to help meet the challenges of the future. The RBC Future Launch Community Challenge is a call to action for youth, and an opportunity to bring young leaders to the decision-making table as we build strong and vibrant communities for the future.

Quesnel Community Foundation is pleased to host the RBC Future Launch Community Challenge, and to make up to $15,000 available to youth-led projects in Quesnel that will respond to one central question:

What is your boldest idea to respond to an urgent local need?

By applying for a grant and bringing a local project to life, youth will have opportunities to lead, learn new skills, gain experience, and build relationships in their local communities — all things that will help them prepare for the future of work.

This Community Challenge goes far beyond Quesnel, participating community foundations will make grants and learning opportunities available to youth-led initiatives in 150 communities from coast to coast to coast.

The gift that keeps on giving

The Quesnel Community Foundation was established in 2001 to meet the needs of our community by granting funds resulting from the growth and management of a permanent endowment fund. We operate under the premise that all donations received will be added to the endowment fund and only income generated is used to fund our Grants. The capital created by those donations is never spent. As our endowment grows, our ability to fund Grants also grows.

This chart shows the Grant History since the Foundation was established until 2019.
