The Calgary Youth Foundation began in 1994 as the first program of its kind in Canada with a purpose to turn dreams into reality. Involving youth in a hands-on approach to philanthropy, the Calgary Youth Foundation provides youth with an opportunity to create positive change in their community.
For youth interested in: Philanthropy, making a difference in Calgary
What we do: A steering committee of youth meets twice per month to coordinate two granting cycles each year. During each granting cycle, the Youth Foundation is able to grant youth-initiated projects and youth-serving agencies up to a maximum of $2,000.
If you have a great idea for a youth (12-18) project in Calgary, we have the funds to back you up! Receive up to $2,000 for youth driven projects in your community, school or neighbourhood.
Please check back for the October 2013 grant cycle, your next time to apply for Calgary Youth Foundation grants.

Two school groups are eligible for $1,000 each, as well as an individual is eligible for $500, for a project that will benefit the environment in Calgary. The Jack Leslie Youth Environment Grant is a creative partnership between Youth Central, the Leslie family, the City of Calgary and the Parks Foundation. The grant recognizes the positive impact Jack Leslie, former Mayor of Calgary, made to the city and the environment and encourages youth in Calgary to continue with his efforts.
