Local non-profit organizations in Fort Saskatchewan have until June 15, 2026, to apply for funding through the City of Fort Saskatchewan Grants to Organizations program. The initiative provides financial support for projects and events that improve the quality of life, belonging, and well-being within the community.
The program is designed to help local groups deliver programs and services that align with the city’s goals of fostering a caring and connected environment. According to Melissa Kondro, the city’s Coordinator of Community Development, the grants allow the municipality to invest directly in the people and programs that strengthen local capacity and respond to the real needs of residents.
To be eligible, organizations must be registered non-profits in good standing under provincial or federal legislation and must have been operating for at least one full year. The city provides funding through four specific streams: core funding for operational expenses, collaborative funding for partnerships, capacity building for skill development, and initiative funding for one-time or annual events. These grants support a wide range of activities, including arts, culture, heritage, environmental stewardship, recreation, and social programs.
The grant program is funded through a partnership between the city and the provincial Family and Community Support Services program. Organizations that receive funding are required to submit financial reports within 90 days of finishing their project, as failing to meet these reporting standards may make them ineligible for future support.
Groups interested in applying can find more information in the Grants to Organizations Guidelines or by contacting the Community Development coordinator at [email protected]. Applications can be submitted via email or delivered in person to City Hall at 10005 102 Street.
