Guidelines
"Temporary local projects and events that motivate Calgarians to walk,
play and be neighbourly."
-
Projects can take place from 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!
-
There are no restrictions on what elements of your project you can request funds for (i.e. permit fees, refreshments for the event, artists, rental of meeting space, signage, etc.). 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.
