“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Hi Everyone,

A number of upcoming grant deadlines are below.

• The City of Edmonton has grants open for the Community Investment Operating Grant 2022 and Edmonton Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) 2023-25
• The 2 Billion Trees (2BT) program: up to $3.2 billion will be invested in tree planting efforts. Inaugural deadline is on Feb. 17, 2022.
• Alberta Immigrant Mentorship Innovation Grant: available funding of $1 million.

INTERESTING GRANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Don’t give up in grants. The process can take time. One of my clients won a $2M grant last week, but they have been working hard for nearly seven years. Big grants can take time, but dreams do come true.
• We had a federal government IP Advisor speak to our Advanced Grant Writing Class last week. It was fun as we had “bring a guest day.”
• All kinds of grants are below for you. Have fun!

Sincerely,

David Kincade, MA
