The BC Hydro Peace Agricultural Compensation Fund was established to provide support to Peace region agricultural producers, industry associations and other eligible non-profits to support the region’s opportunity for agricultural production and agrifoods economic activity. The fund is governed by a board of directors that broadly represent the agriculture industry in the Peace region, administered by Northern Development Initiative Trust and overseen by BC Hydro.
The fund is managed as a sustainable endowment, which means only a portion of the total endowment’s funds will be made available for grant programs each year to ensure the fund is managed in perpetuity for the benefit of the Peace region.
This grant funding program will have two intakes in 2026:
Intake 1: December 1, 2025 through January 16, 2026
Intake 2: July 2, 2026 through August 28, 2026
Applicants can apply by using the online application portal.
Applications that have previously been declined by the Board will not be considered unless significantly different from the previous application or invited by the Board.
