ECF has distributed over $400 million in grants and scholarships to thousands of charities and students since 1989.

Behind every grant is a belief that Edmonton can be more connected, more equitable and full of possibility. In 2025, $44.7 million flowed to 925 charities and students across the region, supporting everything from affordable housing and early childhood development to arts, environment and education.

Each grant tells its own story: a family settling into a safe home, a child discovering a love of reading, an organization building capacity to serve its community for years to come. The numbers on this page show where the dollars went. The impact lives in the people and communities they reached. This is what the community we imagine looks like in action.
