Red Deer community organizations get multi-year funding for upcoming projects

Five Red Deer agencies are to receive multi-year funding through the City’s Community Culture Development Fund (CCDF) – Culture Development Category.

The City explains that the CCDF has provided financial support to not-for-profit organizations delivering arts, culture, and heritage initiatives in our community since 2000.

Grant funds are meant to assist organizations in capacity-building which will allow them to provide a service, manage a cultural facility, act as an umbrella organization for other cultural organizations, develop new cultural programs and services, and/or produce a community-based special event or festival.

“New books for school children, theatre collaborations, choir programs, Indigenous connections, and an update to the Museum + Art Gallery are some of the initiatives our community can benefit from as a result of this program,” said Bobby-Jo Stannard, Community Development Superintendent. “The City of Red Deer is proud to support these organizations in reaching their goals and improving quality of life for Red Deerians.”
