[Alberta-wide] Built Together Grant (open: May 13, 2025)

Our Built Together program helps Albertans build spaces for active living in their community

Our Built Together program helps Albertans build spaces for active living in their community. Whether it be a skate park, playground, outdoor gym or sports court, we're giving back to Albertans and helping them live their best lives.

Each year, this Alberta grant awards $50,000 grants in Edmonton, Calgary, a secondary city, rural community and an Indigenous community.

Read about more than 4 dozen projects we've supported across the province with funding totalling $2.65 million.

What do we fund?

Built Together funds infrastructure projects that foster active living. Eligible projects include but are not limited to

• outdoor gyms,
• cycling paths,
