RBC Blue Water Project™ Guidelines & Eligibility

RBC Blue Water Project offers two levels of grants:

• Community Action Grants:  These grants range from $1,000 to $10,000, and are awarded to local or community-based organizations in Canada, the United States or the Caribbean. We have established an application deadline for Community Action Grants, rather than accepting applications year round. This will allow us to review all applications in a fair and consistent manner. The application period for 2017 Community Action Grants will open on October 17, 2016.
   
• Leadership Grants:  These grants range from $10,001 to $100,000 and are awarded to organizations that are leaders in providing programs in North America and other countries where RBC does business. Interested organizations must submit an Expression of Interest. If your project qualifies for additional consideration, we will invite you to submit a formal RBC Blue Water Leadership Grant Application. The application period for 2017 grants will open on October 17, 2016. If your project qualifies for additional consideration at that time, we will invite you to submit a formal RBC Blue Water Leadership Grant Application.

• a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) registered charity or other qualified donee in Canada
