The Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta is seeking applications for Youth in Action Grant Program to empower youth by encouraging leadership on a project that will have a positive impact on their community.
The purpose of the Youth in Action Grants is to empower youth by encouraging leadership on a project that will have a positive impact on their community. Through this experience, youth will have a greater appreciation of philanthropy by understanding the difference they can make in their community by giving back.
Projects funded through Youth in Action grants must be initiated, led, and organized by residents of Southwestern Alberta up to 25 years of age, in collaboration with a charitable partner.
Every year, the Community Foundation dedicates grant funding to dynamic projects initiated by Southwestern Alberta’s youth. Projects need to be developed, led, and organized by individuals or groups in Southwestern Alberta. Applicants must be 25 years of age or younger.

- Are a direct fundraising campaign.
