Environmental Impact Grant | Alberta Ecotrust

January 20, 2025

Value

Applicants can request up to $50,000 in funding.

Description

Alberta Ecotrust Foundation has supported a diverse range of initiatives and programs, from identifying key biodiversity and conservation areas in Alberta to engaging Albertans on the issues of climate change and energy transition. We’ve also supported ecological restoration work on farms, creeks, and landscapes across the province, and many, many other important environmental initiatives over the last 30 years. Our 2025 Environmental Impact Grant responds to the urgency of both the biodiversity and climate crises as well as advancing the circular economy. It is because of these challenges that we offer funding to a variety of organizations doing important work in Alberta.
