The second round of funding through the Civil Society Fund (CSF) is now open.
The CSF provides $20 million over 3 years to expand civil society’s capacity to address social problems facing Albertans. The first round of CSF funding was launched in fall 2020.
Civil society includes non-profit and voluntary organizations, registered charities, informal groups or movements pursuing shared interests or values, and private-sector organizations and individuals pursuing social good.
Civil society plays a critical role in the well-being of Albertans and contributes significantly to Alberta’s economy. The intent of the CSF is to support transformational change and improve how civil society organizations function and work together to address pressing social challenges.
CSF funding is one-time only. Funding will not be provided to support the ongoing delivery of social programs and services, or routine operational requirements of organizations.
CSF funding is also time limited. Successful applicants will have 24 months from the date of the grant agreement to complete their grant activities.
Eligible applicants can request up to $1,000,000 for their project. Proposals may be approved at a lesser amount than what was requested.
