More money available through Civil Society Fund

Another round of funding is available to aid civil society organizations with new projects supporting Alberta’s social services sector and helping the most vulnerable recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The province announced Monday that civil society groups, not-for-profit organizations, First Nations and Metis Settlements can submit funding proposals up to $1 million for new projects.

The funding will address the social challenges vulnerable Albertans are facing today like mental health and well-being, increased rates of domestic and sexual violence and homelessness, the province says.

Civil society includes Alberta’s non-profit, charitable, voluntary and social enterprise sector.
