Project Overview

In December 2022, Council adopted a Notice of Motion that directed Administration to undertake a Civic Partner Operating Grant Program that aligns with current and future Council directions. On November 28, 2023 Council approved the Terms of Reference for the Civic Partner Operating Grant Program.

Between October 2023 and December 2024, Civic Partners were engaged at multiple points to gather input to help inform development of the Operating Grant Program and application materials. Engagement is now complete. Thank you to all who participated in the in-person workshops and online! Your valuable insight was instrumental in the program’s design. The program is now in the implementation phase. For more information, visit the Civic Partners Funding page on calgary.ca.
