TENT PROGRAM

We’ve revamped our tent program!

Each year we conduct a fulsome review of our community programming. Following this review, we are making some changes to our tent program. As we continue to evolve our support for community organizations, we are putting more of our funds toward supporting the operation of programs and consequently, reducing our tent program and discontinuing our popcorn program.

As a result, we are no longer be able to provide a tent to support some organizations and our qualifying criteria has changed.

Our criteria:

This is no longer a first-come-first-serve program, events will be selected based on alignment with our organizational goals.

Tent applications will be considered based on the following criteria:

Event size (ie. Number of attendees) scope and reach
Both non-profit and for-profit organizations may apply

Requests unlikely to qualify for funding:

Tent requests with less than two weeks’ notice.
Requests for more than two tents per event.
Private events that are not open to the public.
Requests for an individual (for example athletes raising funds to attend the Olympics, etc.), as we concentrate our efforts on organizations serving a group of people.
Requests for religious or political organizations and affiliated activities.
Requests for any group that represents a conflict of interest for Envision Financial, or that promotes specific programs or issues where Members of the Credit Union may have significantly divergent views.

NOTE: Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer the Tent program in Hope, please contact the Hope branch for alternative support.
