This is the Denman WORKS! Economic Enhancement Society website.
Denman WORKS! is committed to improving the socio-economic health of Denman Island by supporting community organizations whose work is compatible with that mission.
Operating as a Society, under an Agreement with our funding partner, the Comox Valley Regional District, we aim to leverage our tax-funded budget to obtain the maximum benefit for islanders.
Methods include direct grants to qualifying and carefully selected organizations via the annual Community Project Grant process; the use of specialist Grant Facilitators to research & obtain outside funding for specific larger-scale projects undertaken by island entities; small, one-off grants to meet short-term needs; the organization of Workshops to both educate and stimulate; the maintenance of an informative website, a physical Resource Centre and a Job Board; the personal assistance & support of Society Directors with both a commercial background and government contacts. Kindly note – by law Denman WORKS! may not fund private business and may only assist non-profit organizations or those sponsored by such non-profit organizations.
