Guidelines
“Temporary local projects and events that motivate Calgarians to walk,
play and be neighbourly.”
- Projects must take place between September 2017 to March 2019 – we are seeking projects that promote walking in every season, and can occur all across the city.
- Projects can be short-term and must have a takedown or clean-up plan.
- Projects can be any size – big or small.
- Projects should be a new idea, not something you’ve done before. Be original and creative!
- All projects must be free and open to the public to attend!
- Funds can be requested for a range of project materials (i.e. permit fees, refreshments for the event, artists fee, rental of meeting space, promotional items, etc.). Honorariums can only be given for hired professionals i.e. Artist, Musician, Guest speaker, professional facilitator etc. Please be detailed when you request an honorarium. Volunteer time cannot be claimed. See the Expense Example.
- ActivateYYC grant money cannot be used to purchase assets (any item over $500 and has a lifespan of over 1 year i.e. laptop) – meaning a resource that an individual or organization owns with the expectation that it will provide a future benefit.
- Grants will average around $750, but can range from $50 to $1500, depending on project requirements.
- All ActivateYYC microgrants are on a reimbursement basis. A final report along with pictures and proof of expenses will be required before you will receive payment.
- Grant recipients must also complete a short online reporting process that documents your observations and experiences in navigating City processes.
- Applications will be carried forward to each funding cycle – so you only have to apply once.
