2009-10 Grant Process:

The 2009-10 grant process is now closed. The application deadline was December 31, 2009.

We are currently reviewing over 1800 applications. If we have questions with regard to your submission, we will contact you. If you have general enquiries, please contact our office after June 1, 2010.

NEW FOR 2009-10:

Grant Agreement - Applicants will be required to submit an originally signed Grant Agreement. A Statutory Declaration will no longer be required.

2009-10 Final Report Timeframe - Grant recipients must submit a final report outlining how the grant was spent by May 1 of the following year after receipt of the grant cheque. (For example: For the 2009-10 grant year, assuming grant cheques will be issued in early May, 2010 the final report will be due by May 1, 2011.)

Final Report Declaration - An originally signed 'Declaration' will be required in 2009-10 rather than a Statutory Declaration. NOTE: For the 2008-09 grant year, a signed Statutory Declaration is still required.

2008-09 Final Report:

All recipients of the Community Spirit Program grant are required to complete a Final Report. Refer to your original application, and in particular the 'Statement of Intent'. If the 'Statement of Intent' has changed, please contact the program office - 780-644-8604, toll-free by dialing 310-0000. Please complete the template below and submit it by September 15, 2009.

NOTE: For funding acknowledgements, please include a short written statement in your newsletter, brochure, website, etc. when acknowledging the grant or contact the program office for other options including the use of the Government of Alberta (GOA) logo.
