Expressions of Interest: Environmental Impact Grant (January 20, 2025)

The Environmental Impact Grant aims to support initiatives in our four focus areas:

• Nature-based Solutions & Conservation
• Climate Resilience & Emissions Reductions
• Circular Economy
• Overarching / Foundational

The focus areas are necessarily broad and encompassing, but in order to ensure investments in strategically valuable initiatives, a list of Challenge Statements has been developed. Challenge Statements will be revisited on a yearly basis as part of the grant program evaluation process to ensure funding is in line with our approach.

We strongly encourage applicants to meet with AEF staff to discuss their initiative prior to submitting an EOI. Appointments can be booked through our website or by emailing grants@albertaecotrust.com. During this time staff will:

• Endeavour to understand the organisation and initiative objectives and work directly with applicants to ensure the initiative fits within the focus areas and priorities.
• Strive to connect initiatives with additional resources and partners if applicable.
• Build relationships with applicants and work to improve the quality of applications.
