Alberta Community Spirit Program

The Community Spirit Donation Grant Program encourages charitable giving by providing a grant to eligible organizations that have received cash donations from individual donors.

Alberta non-profit sport organizations registered under the Societies Act are eligible for this program.

Organizations that have received eligible cash donations from individuals may apply for a proportional donation grant from the Government of Alberta. The donation grant will be calculated by allocating the program's available funds ($20 million) based on the amount of eligible cash donations from individuals that were received by eligible applicants. The donation grant will vary from year to year, and is subject to a maximum of $25,000 per year.

The guidelines and application forms are now available here.
