Corporate and Regional Donations are monetary grants, sponsorships or in-kind contributions provided by BC Hydro to registered charities or not-for-profit organizations to support cultural, social and economic well-being in communities around the province of British Columbia.
*Arts and Culture, and Aboriginal were considered a separate category in the past, but since fiscal 2007 and going forward, these allocations have been integrated into the main funding areas.
**For fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009, the People and Leadership funding and Community Investment funding areas are reported together.
The drop in Education between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 is due to moving one donation from Education to People and Leadership.
For fiscal 2009 donation initiatives were planned to have a stronger customer focus that included marketing and leveraging opportunities similar to sponsorships.
