Community Grants Program
The Community Grants Program is ECF’s ‘one-stop shop’ for charities serving the Edmonton area. Through its Community Grants Program, ECF supports requests from charities involved in arts, culture and heritage; education and learning; community and social services; health and wellness; recreation and leisure; and the environment.
Community Grants are funded from the income of our Community and Field of Interest Funds; donors to these funds have given ECF discretion over allocation of fund income. Support is also provided through the Community Investment Partnership, through which ECF donors provide support to particular projects from donor advised funds or flow-through gifts.
