Apr 27, 2020 | 11:24 AM

The City of Grande Prairie has opened up the latest cycle of Community Group Funding. The funding is intended for groups or agencies that provide programs or services for residents in the community.

For the 2021 cycle, the City has categorized funding based on Council’s Strategic Objectives, which include:

  • Community: Groups and agencies that foster connections among people through socially inclusive programs and services with a diverse offering of cultural and recreational opportunities.
  • Economy: Groups and agencies that contribute to a healthy economy and advance economic growth for business and the community.
  • Safety: Groups and agencies that undertake protective measures to respond and protect the community from harm and provide a safe and healthy community.
  • Enhancement: Groups and agencies that contribute to quality of life and enhance the livability of the community.

Overall funding is based on approved budget resources, and recommendations for allocated funding will be based on community need, and the ability of the group or agency to fulfill that need.
