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.

Vital Signs is an annual check-up conducted by Edmonton Community Foundation, in partnership with the Edmonton Social Planning Council. The 2013 edition of Vital Signs focused on the issue of Food Security and the 2014 edition focused on Youth. Vital Signs Grants turn the knowledge from the previous year’s Vital Signs report into action by providing up to three years of funding to projects addressing this issue. The focus of Vital Signs Grants will change from year-to-year, to address the findings of the Vital Signs report.
