Deadline: Ongoing Opportunity
The Calgary Foundation is inviting applications for the Stepping Stones Grants to encourage active citizenship by helping grassroots community groups undertake small creative projects that build a sense of inclusive belonging in local communities.
Stepping Stones supports projects that:
- Build connections between people and their local neighborhoods and communities.
- Celebrate the importance of knowing and helping neighbors – in regular daily life and in times of community stress.
- Are driven by people in their own neighborhoods and communities. The projects are slightly different than programs provided by organizations to communities because community members themselves must play a meaningful leadership role.
Funding Information
The Foundation offers grant support of up to $ 1,000 for project expenses.
Eligible Projects
Projects they support tend to be projects where people:
- Engage people in creative ways to address concerns
- Foster a sense of pride and presence
- Give people the chance to get involved in community life
- Support the community's vulnerable citizens
Eligibility Criteria
Non-profit societies, charitable organizations (including the broader group Canada Revenue Agency describes as “qualified donees”), community associations, and informal grassroots groups in Calgary and area, defined as: Calgary, Banff National Park, Rocky View County, the Municipal Districts of Big Horn, Foothills, Kananaskis and Wheatland, and the surrounding First Nations of Treaty 7 territory.
