Supporting the People Behind the Impact in Alberta (Canada)
GrantID: 74684
Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
A small grant opportunity is available in a southern Canadian region, aimed at uplifting individuals working in charitable or nonprofit sectors. This initiative offers modest financial support to those playing important roles in community programming and service delivery. Focused primarily on individuals rather than organizations or businesses, the opportunity is open to those in stable, ongoing positions within charitable organizations. Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to their work and show promise for future growth in the nonprofit space.
The funding available is in the amount of $500 per recipient, with only two grants awarded each year. These funds are not intended for organizational expansion or operational costs but are specifically meant to support personal development. Recipients typically use the award for training, workshops, or other educational opportunities that enhance their professional skills and increase their ability to serve their communities more effectively.
Applicants cannot apply on their own; instead, they must be nominated by a supervisor or manager who can speak to their impact and dedication. The nomination process is designed to highlight individuals who are often behind the scenes—those contributing meaningfully through direct service, coordination, or entry-level management roles.
This grant is location-specific and only available to individuals working in a defined area within southeastern Canada. The application window opens once a year, typically in the fall, and recipients are celebrated during a community event. While the financial award is modest, the recognition and opportunity for growth are highly valued by those selected. This opportunity reflects a broader commitment to investing in the people who make local nonprofit efforts successful, ensuring continued impact in community-focused work.
