Program Funding

The 2018/19 funding call is closed. For timely notice of all Calgary Learns funding opportunities, sign up for our newsletter.

Calgary Learns funds non-profit organizations to provide foundational learning opportunities for adult Calgarians who face social and economic barriers to learning. Program funding supports renewable grants for foundational learning programs delivered directly to adult learners. Review the Request for Proposals and applicable Application Form (NEW programs or CURRENTLY funded programs) to determine your organization’s eligibility for funding and our requirements for a successful grant. See our Funding FAQs for more information on proposal development and requirements. If you have further questions or if you meet all requirements and plan to apply for the first time, please connect with Grants Coordinator Jeannie Finch at (403.266.6444, ext. 2) before starting an application.

  • All applicants are welcome to meet with grant staff for valuable feedback on draft proposals
  • We have set aside November 28 through December 7, 2017 for draft proposal preview appointments. Contact Jeannie Finch (403-266-6444, ext. 2) to book
