The Board administers a Participant Funding Program (PFP), which provides financial assistance to individuals, Indigenous groups, landowners, and non-industry not-for-profit groups to facilitate public participation in certain project hearings and environmental assessments of designated projects.

On 26 September 2018, the PFP announced a simplified funding process for this hearing to reduce administrative burden. Eligible groups could request up to $80,000, and individuals up to $12,000, to participate in the hearing. The PFP received seventy-six applications requesting a total of $5,217,760. After reviewing the applications, the PFP recommended awarding $4,981,760 to sixty-nine recipients. The Executive Vice President, Regulatory approved the recommendation. Indigenous groups account for 82% of the funding awarded.
