[Alberta] Open for Intake - Community Support Fund for Indigenous-led Initiatives (Deadline July 12, 2024)

The 2025-26 Community Support Fund is now open for intake and accepting applications until July 6, 2025.

Successful applicants can receive a maximum of $200,000 to support projects or initiatives. Multi-year projects or initiatives will also be considered.

Funding for successful projects or initiatives is determined by demonstrating that the project or initiative:

• will address violence, increase safety or economic security of women, girls and 2S+ people
• is Indigenous-led
• identifies actions and performance measures to show that needs are met

Non-Indigenous entities or communities will be required to demonstrate the initiative is Indigenous-led by declaring the initiative is administered by an Indigenous individual and providing 2 letters of partnership or support from Indigenous communities or organizations.

Applicants must also demonstrate:

• organizational capacity to undertake the project or initiative
• the sustainability of the project or initiative
• how the results of the project or initiative will be shared with Indigenous women, girls and 2S+ people

Some applications may not receive the full funding requested, because funding is dependent on the:

• overall program budget
• number of applications received by the department

Applicants who have outstanding deliverables for Indigenous Relations grants are ineligible for further funding until the outstanding deliverables are submitted.
