Community Grants (Deadline: March 17, 2025)

Community Grants

Community Grants address the greatest needs across the Southeastern Alberta region. They provide essential funding to local charities & non-profit organizations, helping enhance our communities’ quality of life.

These grants are made possible by donors who contribute to the Community Fund. Investment income is distributed through an application-based granting process held twice a year.

Grant Cycles occur in the Spring and Fall. For detailed dates and information on the application process, please refer to the Grant Guidelines.

CFSEA has a two-step application consisting of a Letter of Intent (Phase 1) and Application (Phase 2). Feedback from Phase 1 may take up to 7 business days. The deadline for the Letter of Intent will be at least 2 business days before the Application deadline.

NEW for Fall 2024: If you are a registered, non-profit society in Alberta, currently in good standing and have existed for at least five (5) years, you can request up to $5,000 without completing the Declaration of Affiliation. If you are requesting more than $5,000, you will still need to complete the affiliate process.
