Alberta relaunching funding program for community projects

Aug 13, 2020 | 4:23 PM

The provincial government is reopening the Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant stream aimed at supporting economic recovery and build social connections.

Alberta’s non-profit and community organizations can now apply to the Sept. 15 intake of the Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant stream, which aims to foster healthy and vibrant communities across Alberta.

The province says funding will focus on events, festivals, programs and projects delivered in innovative and creative ways that align with public health measures.

The Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant was paused in May to reallocate funds to help struggling front-line charities and non-profits maintain their core operations and provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Alberta has more than 26,000 non-profit organizations. Community grants programs provide essential funding to about 800 of them.
