Environmental Operating Grants Grants
We are committed to fostering a sustainable future by supporting environmental initiatives in our community.
We recognize the vital role that dedicated organizations play in addressing environmental challenges and believe in empowering these efforts through long-term operational support.
Environmental Operating Grants provide three years of operational funding to help grow and support Alberta’s environmental sector.
The total funding pool available is $300,000 per year for three years, amounting to $900,000 in total. These funds will be distributed among all successful applicants.
Funding for the 2025 – 2027 three-year cycle has been awarded. The Environmental Operating Grant is now closed.
Eligibility
Eligible organizations must:
- Be a registered charity with Canada Revenue Agency or other qualified donee.
- Operate exclusively in Edmonton and/or Northern Alberta. Our definition of “Northern Alberta” is somewhat flexible, but we generally consider the City of Wetaskiwin to be the southern boundary of Northern Alberta.
- Have a primary charitable purpose that is environmental in nature, including renewable energy, energy conservation, and climate change; environmental education; land, habitat, and wildlife conservation; waste management; and air and water quality.
