Two Funding Streams

Annual funding window open for non-profit upgrades

Jan 19, 2026 | 11:17 AM

Fresh opportunities are available for Lethbridge organizations ready to grow their impact.

Officials with the City of Lethbridge say the annual Community Capital Projects Grant (CCPG) is now accepting applications. The city says the CCPG gives non‑profit organizations funding to upgrade facilities and equipment. Focus is placed on projects that build a more inclusive and accessible community.

Officials note, the two 2026 funding streams remain the same as previous years:

Stream A: Planning Assistance

• Provides funding for early-stage planning and design work. This includes environmental reviews, geotechnical assessments and preliminary design or feasibility work.
• Offers up to $25,000 or 50 per cent of eligible project costs, whichever amount is lower.

Stream B: Capital Assistance

• Helps organizations move forward with construction and facility improvements. This includes additions, upgrades, retrofits, technology enhancements and major equipment needs.
• Provides up to $200,000 or one-third of total project costs, whichever is the lesser amount.

The application deadline for the CCPG program is March 31.

As CCPG applications open, the city says another grant window is set to close. The first of three intakes for the Community Event Support Grant (CESG) closes Jan. 31 at 11:59 p.m. Officials say the CESG helps nonprofit groups create new events, or sustain existing ones, that add vibrancy and value to Lethbridge. They further note, it supports initiatives that enhance quality of life, strengthen community culture, offer affordable entertainment and provide economic benefits. It does not fund ongoing organizational operations.
