Agency Capacity Building Grant

The Agency Capacity Building funds have been fully expended at this time.  Please continue to check this website for fund availability.

Red Deer & District FCSS agency capacity building funds are intended to help make our community organizations stronger and more effective. With increasing pressures on our non-profit sector to deal with more and more complex issues and perform at elevated levels of sophistication and accountability, there has been an increasing need to support agencies in these area.

To apply, complete the Agency Capacity Building Grant Application Form (pdf)  and submit it to the Safe & Healthy Communities department by email to fcss@reddeer.ca or by fax at 403-342-8222.
