Civil Forfeiture Grant: Recipient Guide 2025–2026

After your project is approved, there are a few things you need to do to keep your grant in good standing. This page explains how to report on your project, use your funding, request changes and acknowledge the funding you received.

On this page

• Report on your project
• Complete your project by the deadline
• Use your grant funds appropriately
• Get written approval before you change your project
• Acknowledge the funding you received

Report on your project

All grant recipients must submit:

• An interim report
• A final report

These reports help confirm that grant funds were used for eligible project costs.

We will email the online report links to the primary contact listed in your application. You will get the links about one month before each report is due.

Interim report

You may be asked to provide:

• An update on your project
• How much grant money you have spent so far
• Any challenges and how you are dealing with them
• Any changes to your budget, workplan or timeline

Final report

You may be asked to provide:

• Final costs, using the same budget items from your application
• Number of participants served
• Number of sessions delivered, if this applies
• A summary of what your project achieved
• Your main challenges and lessons learned
• Any changes to your budget, workplan or timeline
• Feedback and suggestions for the Civil Forfeiture Grant Program

Complete your project by the deadline

All 2025–26 approved projects must be finished by Wednesday, June 30, 2027.

This deadline applies even if your application listed an earlier end date.

Get written approval for an extension

You must get written approval to extend your project past the completion deadline.

Use your grant funds appropriately

Grant funds must be used in British Columbia (B.C.).

Funds must be used for costs that are:

• Directly related to your approved project
• Needed to complete your approved project
• Listed in your approved grant application

You must:

• Spend all grant funds by June 30, 2027
• Use grant funds only for the project that was approved
• Get written approval before changing your project or how you use the funds

If your organization dissolves (closes), you must transfer any unused grant funds and assets bought with grant funds to the Minister of Finance.

If the assets cannot be easily transferred to Minister of Finance, they must go to another eligible organization in B.C.

Get written approval before you change your project

You must get written approval before you make changes to your project, including extending your project past the completion deadline.

To request a change, complete the Project Modification Request Form.

Your proposed changes must:

• Match the grant stream requirements your project was approved under
• Have a similar purpose or outcome as your approved project

Acknowledge the funding you received

Where possible, please acknowledge the provincial funding you received in activities, events, and resources related to your project, such as reports, posters and websites.

You can do this by using the B.C. government logo, but you must get written approval first.

Use the B.C. government logo

Before you use the B.C. government logo in project resources, you must:

1. Review the logo-use guidelines
2. Complete the Application for Third-Party Use (PDF, 102KB)
3. Create a mock-up using the logo. We recommend using the Supported by the Province of British Columbia mark. The mock-up must show how the logo will appear on your materials
4. Send your application and mock-up to CFOgrants@gov.bc.ca​
5. Wait for written approval

We’ll review your request and respond in writing.
