Community Spirit Program
Since 2008, the Community Spirit Program benefited many nonprofit organizations across the province and successfully resulted in nonprofit/voluntary organizations increasing their private fundraising activity. The program was made up of two components - a donation grant and a charitable tax credit. The last year of the donation grant was 2012-13. Albertans continue to be eligible for the charitable tax credit, one of the highest charitable tax credits in Canada.
2012-13 Grant Process
The application process is now closed. Budget 2012-13 provided $15.5 million for the Community Spirit Program donation grant. The application deadline was December 31, 2012. Applications are currently being processed with grant decisions being made later this spring.
Final Reports
Final Reports for the 2011-12 donation grant are due not later than May 1, 2013. Final reports may be submitted online or by submitting a hard copy. For further information and access to final report templates from past years, click here.
