Local non-profits and charities in Lethbridge, Alberta, and surrounding areas, have until March 16, 2026, to apply for financial support through the spring grant cycle of the Community Foundation of Lethbridge and Southwestern Alberta.
The deadline specifically applies to the Community Priorities Fund and the Henry S. Varley Fund for Rural Life, with all submissions due by 4:00 p.m. These grants support a variety of local initiatives, including projects focused on arts, culture, social services, and education.
Groups looking for help with their applications can reach out to Grants Coordinator Caitlin Gajdostik for guidance on the process. The foundation provides this funding twice a year to help qualified organizations and community groups improve the region.
This year is significant as the organization marks its 60th anniversary of serving the area. While the main spring grants are due in mid-March, some specific programs related to the anniversary may have different dates, so applicants are encouraged to check the official portal to ensure they meet the correct cutoff for their project.
