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 and injury recovery / disability support initiatives of community organizations.

Road safety

We consider initiatives, with special consideration for those that support ICBC’s road safety programs and campaigns, that:

  • Make B.C.’s drivers and roads safer for all road users

  • Improve the safety of vulnerable road users including children, pedestrians and cyclists

  • Help young people in B.C. become responsible drivers

  • Prevent auto crime

  • Provide resources to support seniors in their transition to longer driving

Injury recovery / disability support

We consider initiatives that will help both our injured customers and other people living in B.C. who are recovering from an injury or living with a disability to live healthy, active and productive lives.
