Applying for a Grant

Each year thousands of non-profit/volunteer organizations in Alberta require funding for a variety of projects and initiatives. This year, the Alberta Lottery Fund will re-invest $1.5 billion in communities across the province. Some of this funding is available to these organizations through various lottery-funded grant programs.

The Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit oversees funding for the following granting programs and foundations:

• Community Spirit Program (CSP)
• Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP)
• Community Initiatives Program (CIP)
• Other Initiatives Program (OIP)
• Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA)
• Alberta Historical Resources Foundation (AHRA)
• Human Rights Education and Multiculturalism Fund (HREMF)

The Ministry of Tourism, Parks, and Recreation oversees funding for the Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation (ASRPWF) and its granting programs.
