Ways to Give
Impact
The Battle River Community Foundation was created by residents of municipalities in Camrose and Flagstaff Counties, including the city, towns, villages and rural areas, to serve as a conduit between the long-term charitable intentions of donors and existing or emerging needs in their communities.
The Foundation’s primary purpose is to accept donations, invest the donations and distribute the investment income according to the wishes of donors expressed at the time the donations are made.
Since its establishment in 1995, over $10,469,392 has been granted to charities and municipalities which are encouraged to consider the Foundation as a source of funding for projects and activities related to education, health and well-being, arts and culture, recreation and more.
Spring Update from the Battle River Community Foundation
As we begin to see the first signs of spring here in Alberta, we know many of you are looking ahead to this year’s grants and scholarships.
At this time, our grant and scholarship applications are not yet open. We are working to have everything ready by the end of the month. Once applications are available, we will share updates on our website, social media channels, and in our local newspapers.
We are grateful to our donors whose ongoing support makes these opportunities possible each year. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference across our communities.
Please note the following upcoming office closures:
- April 3 and April 6 for Easter
- April 13 to 15 while staff attend the Community Foundations of Alberta Network Conference
Thank you for your patience as we prepare for another granting season.
