The Fresh Outlook Foundation is hosting its 7th Building SustainABLE Communities (BSC) conference in Kelowna, BC November 21-24, 2017 at the Delta Grand Hotel & Conference Centre. In advance of the event, you are invited to contribute your ideas related to one of the four conference themes. This ideas campaign is focused on enhancing local food security.

If you have an idea for one or more community projects that would enhance local food production or processing, while making food affordable for all, please provide them. Your ideas will be added to those that are contributed at the conference.

Why not get some inspiration from our Local Food Inspiration Zone

Raise funds for a project

Please answer the following questions so we can review your project application.

  • * indicates a required field
  • Learn more about the types of projects we are looking for

    We review each project application to ensure that it meets the following criteria:

    • Your project will help improve the social fabric, local economic vitality and/or environmental - integrity of your community.
    • Your project will provide broad benefit to a range of community members (as opposed to a private campaign for a private cause).
    • You have the resources, ability, and credibility to successfully complete or coordinate the completion of the project.
    • The amount of funds you are raising will be enough to successfully implement it.
    • If you are raising money on an debt or equity basis, the maximum you can raise is $250,000 and the maximum that each backer can contribute is $1500.

    If the project does not meet all the above criteria, we will work with you to modify your application.

  • We offer all crowdfunding types including: Donations, Rewards, Debt and Equity. You can raise up to $250,000 for a Debt or Equity project.

Thank you for submitting your project application

We will review it and contact you within 48 hours regarding the next steps
