Summary
This grant opportunity provides timely support to nonprofit organizations working to serve their communities in dynamic and responsive ways. Designed with flexibility in mind, this funding stream assists groups encountering unexpected needs or one-time opportunities that require quick action. It is especially well-suited for organizations that need to address specific short-term goals or respond to emergent issues not covered by existing budgets.
Open to organizations based in select regions of Canada, this funding is intended for registered nonprofits and charitable groups working across a wide variety of sectors. Whether addressing community development, equity-based initiatives, education, arts and culture, environmental stewardship, or human services, eligible projects must demonstrate a meaningful and direct impact.
Funds may be used for targeted purposes such as acquiring essential equipment, addressing infrastructure repairs, filling operational gaps, or supporting special community-focused events and programs. Rather than funding long-term initiatives, this grant is focused on immediate and actionable needs that can be achieved within a defined timeline. Applicants should present a clear explanation of the need, the intended use of funds, and the outcomes they hope to achieve.
The grant is awarded annually, with applications reviewed regularly while funds remain available. Awards typically range from modest to mid-level amounts and are structured to meet specific costs rather than supplement broader operating budgets. Organizations may only have one active grant at a time but may pursue additional collaborative opportunities in specific focus areas.
Overall, this grant is ideal for nonprofit organizations that are community-rooted, responsive, and poised to make an immediate difference with the right level of targeted support. Funding is available in regions across Alberta, and successful applicants are expected to report back on their impact at the conclusion of their project.
Organizations and individuals based in Alberta who are engaged in Other may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
