To continue our participation in the City of Calgary’s Mental Health and Addiction Community Investments Table. This table includes the City of Calgary, United Way of Calgary and Area, Hunter Family Fund, Calgary Health Foundation, Carthy Foundation, Viewpoint Foundation, and the Calgary Homeless Foundation. Funds are pooled and distributed to community organizations to test innovative ideas that bring changes at the individual, family, community, and policy or system levels to address mental health and addiction issues experienced by Calgarians. Our contribution allows us to sit at the decision-making table as to where they funds are most needed, and provides great opportunities for our own learning and for us to demonstrate leadership.
Action Dignity is partnering with The Centre for Newcomers to develop a new space that will be available to emerging ethnocultural groups (mostly black and racially-led nonprofits) who need a space for programming but don’t require a fulltime location. The space itself is located in the same strip mall as Centre for Newcomers and therefore is easily accessible by transit. Funding would go toward renovating the space, utilities, and some overhead costs. Potential tenant organizations include: The Immigrant Outreach Society, Best Help Family Foundation, Oladele Cancer Foundation, The Calgary Ethiopian Youth Alliance, YYC Eritrean, and the Ethiopian and Eritrean Students Association, South Sudanese Community Association.
