Summary
These unique grant opportunities are available to support creative initiatives within a defined area. Funding is designed for nonprofit groups, community-based organizations, and individuals working on mission-driven projects. Select applicants engaged in smaller-scale or collaborative efforts may also be considered, depending on the nature of their work and its potential for community benefit. The funds are meant to encourage new thinking, experimentation, and growth in areas related to public engagement, organizational development, and leadership within creative or cultural fields.
Eligible applicants can seek support for projects that help them learn more about their audiences or connect more effectively with the communities they serve. Grants of varying sizes are available, with some projects receiving up to $15,000 based on their goals and potential for learning. Separate support is available for individuals with demonstrated leadership experience who are interested in hands-on learning opportunities within an organizational setting. These placements may include funding up to $20,000 and are designed to foster both skill-building and real-world impact. Additional smaller grants, often in the range of $5,000, may be offered to help participants build on prior learning or expand a past project.
Organizations interested in deeper strategic change may pursue phased support. Depending on where they are in their planning, they may receive modest funds to explore possibilities, or larger grants—up to $25,000—for putting ideas into action.
Application cycles take place more than once a year, offering flexibility for applicants to plan around their needs. While the opportunity is geared toward organizations in the creative and cultural space, there is room for collaboration with newer initiatives or individuals, especially those exploring equity-focused or community-centered approaches. Overall, the program is intended to support fresh thinking, learning, and long-term capacity-building.
Organizations and individuals based in Alberta who are engaged in Community Development & Services 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.
