Alberta Counsel

Grants

Alberta Counsel provides a unique opportunity for communities of any size, non-profits, and community organizations from across the province to optimize their “revenue” from local, provincial, federal, and even corporate funding opportunities. Our innovative model positions your organization at the center of a funding hub that encompasses its various projects, programs, special events, and ongoing operations.

The goal is to complete more local projects and programs at a fraction of the cost they would incur if underwritten entirely by the organization. In most cases, our model reduces project costs by a minimum of 50%, making funds available for other initiatives that would otherwise remain on the back burner for years.
