Value

Varies.

Description

The CEDD Program advances PrairiesCan’s strategic priorities and supports economic development initiatives that help communities across the Prairies grow and diversify. Through this program, PrairiesCan enables communities to leverage their capacity and strengths to:

  • sustain and grow their economies
  • respond to economic development opportunities
  • adjust to changing and challenging economic circumstances
  • build inclusive economies that support:
    • Indigenous peoples
    • women
    • youth
    • entrepreneurs with disabilities
    • official language minority communities (OLMC)
    • other underrepresented groups

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants are organizations that support community economic development and/or diversification projects in Alberta, Saskatchewan and/or Manitoba. They may include:

  • incorporated not-for-profit entities (e.g. industry associations, economic development organizations, cultural organizations, and societies)
  • post-secondary institutions
  • First Nations, as led by Chief and Council, Tribal Councils, and Treaty Organizations.
  • Métis Settlements
  • provincial/municipal crown corporation/organization/ministry or any other provincial government entity (provided that the funding goes fully into the project, and not into the entity’s capital or ongoing operations)

All eligible applicants must be legal entities capable of entering into legally binding agreements.

Eligible Expenses
