- Each child has the opportunity to participate in recreational activities that help them to discover their talents and develop their full potential

Activities
- The grants are intended to support time-limited projects, seed or start-up activities, capital costs, one-time program costs, or other similar endeavors. Grants are not multi-year and cannot be used to cover ongoing program or staff expenses.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applicants must be registered charitable organizations working in Calgary. Funded programs must align with at least one of the goals outlined above and must assist Calgary children under 21 years of age who encounter barriers due to lack of financial resources.
