Community Investment

Giving like we live here. Circa 1950.

While we are constantly looking for creative ways to support our communities, in terms of financial support, there are three main ways we issue funding:

• Branch Donations: Every branch of StellerVista has their own budget work with, and can recommend various projects for funding. The goal here is keep those with local knowhow leading the charge within our branches. If you don't know where to start, speaking with someone in your local branch is a great first step.
• StellerStarts: Every year we will be running "StellerStarts" - a program focused on providing smaller grants to communities and groups that are helping bring local events, projects, and other special items to life. Applications for "StellerStarts" are open April - May.
• StellerImpact: The focus of our "StellerImpact" program is on providing grants to larger one-off special projects led by proven community advocates. If your initiative is focused on an area we serve, and boosts quality-of-life for a broad group of residents, we want to know about it. Applications for "StellerImpact" are open July - Sept.

While we are open to any and all things that improve life for people of our communities, we do tend of focus our support within some key strategic areas. As such, we encourage all applicants to review our eligibility criteria, as well as our key areas of focus before applying.
