Southern Fund Call for Proposals for projects beginning in 2027

The Pacific Salmon Commission’s Southern Fund Committee (SFC) has issued its 2027 Call for Proposals and is now accepting project concepts for the 2027 funding cycle in support of the Pacific Salmon Treaty.

Applications are welcome from private, non-profit, and public sector organizations.

The SFC invites proposals that align with the origin and purpose of the Southern Fund:

• • Develop improved information for resource management
  • Rehabilitate and restore marine and freshwater habitat
  • Enhance wild stock production through low technology techniques

Proposals should also support the Strategic Goals and Objectives outlined in the Strategic Plan of the SFC. Innovative proposals are encouraged, including those that explore new technology, fishery management tools, or alternative and/or complementary approaches to support stock assessment - particularly methods that are less resource intensive.

The SFC has also identified specific priorities for 2027 and encourages applications that address these areas.

Interested applicants should download and review the Southern Fund 2027 Call for Project Concepts for full application details.

The deadline for concept submissions closed on August 19, 2026. Applications for 2028 will open in June 2027.

Applicants invited to submit a stage two detailed proposal will receive notification via email. The deadline to submit a detailed proposal is 11:59pm PT on Wednesday November 18, 2026. Please refer to the email instructions you receive or log on to the grantee portal to submit your detailed proposal.

Questions should be directed to the Grant Program Manager, Sascha Bendt, or the Program Assistant, Victor Keong via phone at (604) 684-8081, or email: funds@psc.org
