Each year, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) financially supports local not-for-profit organizations or societies that benefit the resort municipality and move the community closer to its Vision through the Community Enrichment Program (CEP) and Fee for Service agreements.
To qualify for a grant through the CEP, applicants must operate in one of the following categories: Environment, Social Services, Community Services, Recreation and Sport, and Arts and Culture.
The amount provided to each selected organization varies but can only be up to 50 per cent of a program’s total cost.
Funding will be evaluated by Council in accordance with Council Policy A-7 Community Enrichment Program and funding must contribute to the general interest and advantage of the Whistler Community.
Organizations applying for the 2025 CEP funding must present to Committee of the Whole on February 25, 2025.
Organizations who are successful are expected to submit a complete CEP Grant Reporting Form to the Legislative Services Department by December 1, 2025.
