IBRI (International Buffalo Relations Institute) is seeking support from Calgary Foundation to strengthen its ability to deliver its existing program during the coming year. Currently, IBRI’s small team of staff must spend an inordinate amount of time on administrative tasks as demand for our programming has grown. IBRI is seeking funding to hire an administrative assistant, provide a small salary increase to one of our staff members to account for additional duties she as taken on, and give us the capacity to pay a part-time consultant.

This grant will directly fund the construction (building materials and labour costs) of a new Clubhouse that will support Airdrie’s children, youth and families.
