ActivateYYC Grant Applications Open!
The Federation of Calgary Communities has once again launched its ActivateYYC grants!
ActivateYYC is a micro grant program offering businesses, not-for-profits and individuals to engage their neighbourhoods using temporary, cheap and cheerful initiatives that transform space into place, promote movement, safety, and neighbourliness. This program is a partnership between the City of Calgary and the Federation of Calgary Communities, first launched in May 2017.
ActivateYYC seeks to provide microgrants to individuals and organizations whose projects fit one of the three streams offered in 2023:
Wayfinding, Parades and Activated Spaces (rolling intake, first come first served until August 15, 2023 or when the funds run out!)
Bump Outs and Parklets (deadline is March 15, 2023, projects must be completed by September 30, 2023), and
Large Public Spaces (deadline is March 15, 2023, projects must be completed by September 30, 2023)
Candidates can go over our requirements and submit their applications through the forms on each stream’s page.
