The Strategic Opportunity Grants Program reopens Monday, April 7

Strategic Opportunity Grants support small to mid-sized Calgary and area qualified donees with small, time-sensitive, strategic initiatives.

Eligibility

The Strategic Opportunity Grants program supports initiatives that fall into these two categories:

Organization Development
When charities identify a time-sensitive opportunity to bring outside expertise into the organization in order to build capacity, strengthen board governance, conduct HR assessments, or support professional development.

Program Development
When charities identify a time-sensitive opportunity to strategically advance their work by piloting a new program idea, testing an innovative enhancement to current program offerings, or improving outcomes for program participants.

Example initiatives include, but are not limited to supporting:

  • Unique collaborations or participation in learning opportunities
  • Reorganization during and after a change in leadership or board renewal
  • Small feasibility studies or evaluations for shared services, collaborations, or mergers
