Helping Community Vision Come to Life
We recognize the valuable role that citizen-led initiatives play in creating healthy and vibrant communities. Many community organizations are also volunteer-driven and may not have the capacity, experience, or expertise to manage financial transactions or other aspects of a project.
We offer free accounting and fundraising support, among many others. Through our Project Support Program, communities are equipped with the tools and guidance needed to make projects happen.
CONNECT WITH US
This process has been so much easier due to the help and constant support provided by the Parks Foundation Calgary. They were there for support with the funding information and keeping all the accounting in one place which was a relief considering the scope of the work that we did with the one CFEP grant. They recommended the architect grant when we were struggling with how to accomplish the one naturalization project. They helped us get volunteers and were there for us to help navigate this long and sometimes confusing project but thanks to them we turned out 5 project sites in two years and they look amazing!
