Grant Stories

Over the past 30 years, the Red Deer & District Community Foundation has distributed over $9 million in grants to community projects and organizations across our region. The types of projects could not be more varied: we have funded everything from infrastructure and technological upgrades to staffing and programming costs.

Our 360° funding mandate provides us the flexibility to work with organizations from all sectors—from arts and culture and human services to the environment and social justice.
