The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce (DDCC) is once again accepting applications for its World’s Largest Dinosaur (WLD) Legacy Fund. The fund supports initiatives that enhance and enrich economic development in the Drumheller region.

WLD Legacy Funds are available for capital projects undertaken by not-for-profit groups and other formally organized groups. These capital projects need to provide direct or indirect economic benefits to the community. Applicants can submit a request for funding through the World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund from August 1 to September 30.  The maximum request for funding is $25,000. The application form is available here.

DDCC President Lana Phillips states “The Chamber of Commerce is excited to be able to continue to use WLD Legacy Funds to support local economic development through capital projects undertaken by community groups. In addition, the WLD Legacy Fund will continue to provide funding to the business community through the Business Enhancement Grant program. By directing a portion of WLD Legacy Funds to these types of initiatives, we recognize the positive impact they have on advancing our community. The remainder of WLD Legacy Funds generated will remain focused on Tyra’s maintenance.”

Since the inception of the World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund in 2004, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce has invested over $810,000 in the Drumheller region. This funding has supported 37 not-for-profit organizations and 35 businesses throughout the Drumheller region, in addition to $250,000 to the Town of Drumheller to construct the Badlands Community Facility.
