Where to find them

Most of the region's non-profits & charities are in Cranbrook, Fernie and Invermere. In all, they are in 22 towns. Most of them have their own website, and the links below take you straight there.

Societies, food banks, search and rescue groups, arts councils and hospice teams all share this page. That makes it one of the longest pages on the List, and one of the quickest to go out of date. Boards change, and the contact person changes with them. If a number here reaches someone who has left, please tell me. If you sit on a board, claim your listing. Then you can keep it current yourself.
