Grant Distribution:
Alliance grants can not be used to replace or supplement third party funded programs, including programs funded by health authorities.
The Alliance funding has increased the stability of community brain injury organizations and supports the growth of programs and services by leveraging of other grants, and fundraising dollars. Data collected from brain injury organizations illustrate the importance of the Brain Injury Fund to the provision of services to individuals with acquired brain injuries throughout BC.
