Grant
Update (March 12, 2009)
The 2009 window for Leadership Grants under the RBC Blue
Water Project is now closed. Successful grant applicants
will be notified in June, 2009.
We thank everyone who applied for 2009 funding. We
received 159 applications to support initiatives that
protect watersheds and ensure access to clean drinking
water around the world. Grant applicants that are not
successful in 2009 may apply for funding in 2010. The
next deadline for Leadership Grant applications is March

We accept applications
for Community Action Grants all year round. |
The first phase of the RBC Blue Water Project is a grant
program of $50 million over ten years. Through the RBC
Blue Water Project, we will also:
- Reduce
the intensity of RBC's own water footprint;
- Embark
on education and awareness programs for employees
and clients to promote sustainable water use and create
an understanding of the value and vulnerability of
our water resources;
- Increase
our ability to provide financial services to innovative
water technology companies and water-related services,
and encourage the growth of this business sector;
- Encourage
other organizations to get involved, fostering collaboration
among and between all sectors.
