The Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) through its Research & Planning Grant is providing funding support (up to $5,000) to individuals and organizations to complete preliminary research or planning towards a larger heritage project.
The Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) is committed to connecting people with the stories of the city. They provide leadership, support, and programs to help Edmontonians research, preserve, interpret, and advocate for their heritage. The EHC also commits to:
- Establishing and maintaining mutually respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
- Indigenous peoples’ inherent right to self-determination, cultural independence, and agency.
- Ensuring equitable processes are used when making granting decisions.
Funding Information
- The Research & Planning Grant will invest up to $5,000 towards project expenses. All costs related to the preliminary research and planning phase of your project are eligible.
- Applicants should ensure that the value of their time is reflected in the budget.
Eligibility Criteria
