About ICBC
Community grants program
Our community grants program helps make a difference in the lives of people in British Columbia by supporting the road safety, injury recovery and disability support initiatives of community organizations.
Road safety
With special consideration for those that support ICBC’s road safety improvement program and campaigns, we consider initiatives that:
Make drivers and roads safer for all road users, including children, pedestrians and cyclists
Help young people learn to become responsible drivers
Provide resources to support seniors transitioning away from driving
Injury recovery and disability support
For injury-disability initiatives, we consider initiatives that are accessible to people injured in a motor vehicle crash that:
Will help both our injured customers and other people living in B.C.
Assist with recovery for an injury or living with a disability
Enables people to live healthy, active and productive lives
ICBC’s Community Grants Program has given $1,000 to $30,000 each to organizations such as BC Conservation Foundation, Disability Alliance of BC, MADD Metro Vancouver and VGH Trauma Services.
