Young Edmonton Grants │ Edmonton Community Foundation

Eligible Applicants

• Applicants must register and activate an account to access the online application.
• Applications must be submitted before the 11:59 p.m. deadline.
• All applications must address the information requested in the application form.
• Most kinds of activities can be funded, as long as they are “initiated and organized” by young Edmonton and area residents (13 to 24 years).
• Funding will NOT be awarded for any projects, programs, or initiatives that:
  • involve direct religious activity;
  • involve partisan political activity;
  • benefit an individual (such as a scholarship);
  • have already occurred; or
  • involve funds requested being redirected to activities beyond the Edmonton area (e.g. disaster relief in another country).
• To receive funding, applicants must partner with a registered Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charity (includes schools). Partner charities will be required to complete an online form, automatically sent through the online application, supporting the applicant’s project.
• The partner charity must be aware of the application. For junior and senior high school students, Edmonton Public or Catholic Schools may be willing to accept grants. A representative (Executive Director or Principal) from your partner charity must complete an online form.
• For post-secondary institutions, a director of student services may be the appropriate representative.
• This is a one-time grant. Multi-year requests will not be considered.
• It is anticipated that the number of applications will be greater than the funds that are available to disburse. Not all applications will be approved.
• At the conclusion of the project or activity, we expect a brief update about the initiative. This informal reporting may include:
  • a brief description of the activities;
  • photos or videos;
  • notable successes or lessons learned; and
  • plans for follow-up activities (if any).
