Where does the Fraser Basin Council get its funding?
The Fraser Basin Council’s funding initially came from federal, provincial, and local governments. Presently, the Council is working to become financially self-sustaining, aiming to have equal private and public support. The Council has recently acquired charitable status which has allowed the Council to put in place a fund-raising strategy to acquire funds from sources other than governments. Specific strategies and actions, such as the establishment of a “Sustainability Fund” (endowment fund), have been undertaken to capitalize on this opportunity over the next few years.
