The Beaver River Community Futures Corporation was established in 1988, and the Beaver River Business Development Corporation in 1989. In 1994, these two corporations merged into what is now the Beaver River Community Futures Development Corporation (BRCFDC). Today, they serve 46 communities in northwest Saskatchewan, in an area covering 120,000 square kilometers.

Together, they work as partners with businesses and their communities to provide services that instruct and inform, as well as provide leadership and support of local initiatives. This support comes both as business support service, and loans. In nearly a decade and a half of service, the Corporation has issued over 650 loans totaling over $14 million.

The BRCFDC's core operating funding, investment capital and special funds are provided by the federal government through Western Economic Diversification Canada. This support is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to Community Futures Development Corporations in Saskatchewan.
