The Beltline Community Investment Fund (BCIF) is designed to invest in impactful projects that enhance public realm infrastructure within the Beltline Area, enriching the living experience for residents and creating a welcoming environment for visitors.
BCIF leverages investments in projects on public lands or within public rights-of-way in the Beltline related to public realm improvements, including but not limited to public open space design, redevelopment or enhancement, streetscape design and improvements, implementation of urban design strategies and public art on public land, and public open space acquisition. Its primary purpose is to facilitate and finance improvements that enhance the overall quality of the Beltline’s public environment, ensuring it continues to grow as a vibrant and accessible urban community.
Through BCIF, approximately $2,500,000 is available for new capital projects that aim to support and strengthen the Beltline’s public spaces. These investments focus on improving the design, functionality, and appeal of open spaces and streetscapes, creating inclusive and engaging environments for community interaction and leisure.
Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, societies, or other incorporated entities that have a demonstrated track record of successfully delivering similar projects within Calgary’s city limits. This ensures that funded initiatives are implemented by experienced organizations capable of achieving lasting impact.
The BCIF plays a key role in shaping the urban landscape of the Beltline by supporting creative, sustainable, and community-driven projects that improve accessibility, connectivity, and the overall aesthetic of public areas.
