Community Grant Target Areas

For each community grant cycle we establish target areas we wish to fund, based on community need. If you want to discuss a specific idea before applying, please e-mail the Executive Director at office@wbcfoundation.ca.

The WBCF 2024 Community Grant target area is:

Programs or projects that provide professional mental health, addictions and recovery supports. Preference will be given to youth, seniors, and Indigenous-led and/or Indigenous-serving organizations. Consideration will also be given to successful applicants for up to $5000 for professional development training.

The Shell Albian Sands Environment Grant (generously provided by the Edmonton Community Foundation):

Environmental initiative(s) that focus on environmental education; renewable energy, energy conservation, and/or climate change; land, habitat, and wildlife conservation.
