HCIP – Project Accelerator Grant │ Edmonton Heritage Council

October 7, 2024

Value

Up to $10,000.00 towards eligible project expenses.

Description

The Edmonton Heritage Council (EHC) is committed to connecting people with the stories of our city. We provide leadership, support, and programs to help Edmontonians research, preserve, interpret, and advocate for their heritage.

Through the Heritage Community Investment Program (HCIP), EHC is committed to achieving the aims of Connections and Exchanges: A 10-Year Plan to Transform Arts and Heritage in Edmonton alongside its partners: the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Arts Council, and Arts Habitat Edmonton.

The EHC also commits to:

  • Establishing and maintaining mutually respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
  • Indigenous peoples’ inherent right to self-determination, cultural independence, and agency.
  • Ensuring equitable processes are used when making granting decisions.

Eligible Applicants

To be eligible for a Project Accelerator Grant:

  • The applicant must be an individual, registered non-profit society, or collective of individuals whose residence or location of work is in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region boundaries.
  • The applicant must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident over the age of 18.
  • The applicant cannot have already been awarded an HCIP Project Accelerator Grant during the current calendar year.
  • The applicant must be up to date with final reports for other HCIP-funded work, including returning and unused grant funds. Applicants who have been granted extensions on other HCIP-funded work are also not eligible to apply.
  • The project must explore Edmonton’s heritage and provide a demonstrated benefit to Edmonton residents.
  • The project must have clear start and end dates with a specific scope of activities distinct from ongoing operations or programs.

  • Organizational Anniversary events
  • Capital Projects or Purchases
