Overview

Please note:Rio Tinto Alcan Primary Metal BC Operations has suspended its Community Investment Program (CIP) due to the economic downturn.  This status of the fund is reviewed every quarter. We ask you to consult this web page for more information on the status of our CIP Fund as of the end of September 2010. 

Rio Tinto Alcan BC administers a Community Investment Program, through which it disperses more than $1 million annually to support diverse initiatives benefiting its operating areas and B.C. as a whole. 

Many Rio Tinto Alcan BC community investments at the provincial level align with broad categories of support – such as science, technology and the environment – that have been identified as priorities throughout Rio Tinto Alcan.

Within its operating areas, however, Rio Tinto Alcan BC applies more flexible criteria to funding applications. It supports a broad range of civic and community projects through dedicated CIP budgets in both the Kitimat-Terrace and Watershed Regions.

Rio Tinto Alcan BC has a preference for long-term, partnership-based relationships with the organizations it supports through the CIP – often involving broad and innovative forms of support, engagement, and recognition.
