Battle River Community Foundation vice-chair, Stephen Kambeitz, presented the cheque to Centra Cam executive director, Tracy Culbert.

The Battle River Community Foundation awarded a $2,400 grant to Centra Cam Vocational Training Association.

“Our main facility has 38 staff who serve 100 individuals with developmental disabilities through employment and community access programs, many of whom have diverse medical needs. Centra Cam is grateful to BRCF and its generous donors for their monetary contribution towards ensuring we are able to maintain a high standard of air quality for our clients and for helping us to reduce costs and improve our HVAC system’s efficiency and longevity. This support has made a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve and we thank you for your generosity. Special thanks to Knudson Furnace & Chimney Cleaning Services for their exemplary service,” Centra Cam executive director Tracy Culbert shared.

The grant is funded from income earned in the Gordon French Fund, and the Camrose Citizen Advocacy Legacy Fund. This type of Fund allows the Foundation Board to match annual grant applicants with the interests’ donors wish to support.

The Battle River Community Foundation exists to support organizations in east central Alberta that benefit the local communities and positively impact the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations that have created endowment funds. The principal of these endowment funds is kept intact, and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations.

Since it was founded in 1995, the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $9,308,006 to support charitable activities in the Battle River Region.
