Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support initiatives that advance innovative approaches to addressing climate challenges within urban environments. The grant is intended for organizations actively developing or scaling projects that align with broader environmental objectives such as emissions reduction, clean energy adoption, sustainable building practices, or alternative transportation strategies. The funding is open to nonprofit organizations, charitable groups, and municipal collaborators who demonstrate a measurable plan to reduce environmental impact and contribute to long-term systemic change. Partnerships that include private sector support are welcome, provided a nonprofit serves as the lead applicant.
Eligible projects must be based within specific municipalities in Western Canada, with particular emphasis on Alberta’s major urban centers. The initiative is focused on supporting ideas that are capable of being replicated or scaled across broader regions. Preference is given to proposals that clearly align with local climate action frameworks and show strong potential for community engagement and long-term sustainability.
Grant recipients may receive support to advance policy work, technology deployment, pilot infrastructure, or educational programming—provided that these efforts result in quantifiable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions or other meaningful environmental outcomes. This opportunity is part of a larger effort to accelerate equitable solutions to climate issues by leveraging local innovation and collaboration.
Funding amounts may vary but are typically positioned to support mid-sized projects with strong planning and implementation capacity. This opportunity is available once annually, and applicants must pass through an initial expression of interest phase before submitting a full proposal.
