With two granting cycles per year, the Community Foundation focuses on awarding grants in three key areas: Essentials for Living, Community Vitality, and Healthy Living. In spring 2013, 43 Community Impact Grants totalling $211,240 were awarded to deserving organizations in southwestern Alberta (our territory stretches from the U.S. border north to Nanton and from the B.C. border east to Grassy Lake).

The funding for the Community Impact Grants is generated from the investment income of permanent endowments established by generous donors.
