The City of Red Deer, Alberta, is inviting local non-profit groups to apply for funding to help run sports and community activities. This grant program provides money for organizations to pay for the costs of programs and facility improvements that benefit residents.

The Community Recreation Enhancement Grant awards about $100,000 each year to support local recreation services. This funding is meant to help sport clubs and community groups keep their programs affordable for families and youth.

Local groups have until April 2, 2026, at 4 p.m. to submit their applications for the spring funding period. The money is often used to buy equipment, fix up local facilities, or lower the cost for residents to join a local team.

To be eligible, a group must be a registered non-profit organization that provides recreation initiatives within the community. All applications must be completed online through the city’s official web portal.
