Increasing Support for Non-profits

November 28, 2023: Alberta’s non-profit and voluntary sector contributes to the well-being of communities and improves the lives of Albertans. To further support non-profits, organizations can launch campaigns on the Crowdfunding Alberta platform to boost their fundraising efforts during the giving season and receive up to $5,000 annually in government match-funding.

“I am proud to continue our support for non-profits and charitable organizations in Alberta that make our province a better place to live, work and play. With today being Giving Tuesday, it is the perfect time for Albertans to explore our crowdfunding platform, learn more about Alberta non-profits and contribute to the causes they are passionate about.”

Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women

The Crowdfunding Alberta platform makes it easier for non-profits to generate funding while creating greater impact through the government’s fund-matching commitment. Organizations can access this fund-matching commitment year-round.

“Generous donations fund our programs that help kids overcome the devastating effects of child sexual abuse and support children to move on to lead vibrant, accomplished lives. Through our partnership with the Government of Alberta using the crowdfunding platform, they matched donations to help even more children, teens and families overcome their trauma. Everyone who donates is a difference maker making a huge impact.”

Jennifer Martin, chief executive officer, Little Warriors

Crowdfunding Alberta has successfully run 180 campaigns on the platform since 2021 and organizations can run crowdfunding campaigns on the platform at any time of year. All non-profits and charities on the platform are pre-screened to ensure donations are going to legitimate and credible Alberta-based organizations and the causes they support.
