The RBC Royal Bank Employee Volunteer Grant awards its recipients with $500 for having completed more than 40 hours of community service per year. Since 1999, RBC Royal Bank has made over 16,900 grants and donated more than $8.9 million to worthy organizations. The latest on the receiving end of the Royal Bank award is the Hilliardton Marsh BWREC.

Hopefully some of our visitors and supporters will be moved by the work we are doing at the marsh to consider donating money to help with our research and education goals. While we are waiting to receive our charitable status we have entered into a strategic alliance with Hilliard Township.
