Banff Canmore Foundation

The Wellbeing in Community Grant Program is now open for applications! 🌿

This program continues to offer small grants that support community-led projects fostering mental wellness and social connection across the Bow Valley.

Mental health is complex, and everyone—from professionals to informal groups—has a role to play. This program is especially designed for grassroots efforts that empower community connectors, nurture a culture of care, and grow networks of belonging through non-clinical, community-based approaches.

There are two funding streams available:
✔ One for qualified donees
✔One for non-qualified donees that are registered organizations already active in the Bow Valley – no fiscal sponsor required.
