Deadline: 18-Sep-23
The Alberta Blue Cross is delighted to announce an open call for the “Built Together Program” to help Albertans build spaces for active living in their community.
Whether it be a skate park, playground, outdoor gym or sports court, they’re giving back to Albertans and helping them live their best lives.
Funding Information
- The grant is $50,000.
What do they fund?
- Built Together funds infrastructure projects that foster active living. Eligible projects include but are not limited to:
- outdoor gyms,
- cycling paths,
- construction or replacement of playgrounds,
- skate parks, and
- outdoor rinks.
- Projects must be publicly accessible and free of a membership charge.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any Alberta-based and operated community group or organization that is supporting publicly accessible community amenities that promote active living.
- Community leagues, school councils, municipalities or other non-profit community groups or organizations with new projects in need of funding are eligible to apply.
- Organizations must provide services without regard to race, religion, creed, gender or sexual orientation.
- Priority will be given to projects that reflect the Built Together mandate of promoting active living and wellness at a grassroots community level, with an emphasis on children.
- To ensure province-wide representation, they split grants with one in each of the following communities: Edmonton, Calgary, a secondary city, a rural community and an Indigenous community with a focus on ensuring grants are equitably distributed on a regional basis over the life of the program.
Ineligible
- A project that has already received funding through this program (formerly called the Healthy Communities Grant Program).
- Organizations based or operating outside of Alberta.
- Religious or sectarian organizations.
- Projects that are programming and not infrastructure specific.
- Political organizations.
- Competitive sports teams and private clubs.
- Contract fundraisers or lobbyists.
- Infrastructure projects that are not open to the public.
- Infrastructure projects that require a fee to access.
