Impact
The Battle River Community Foundation was created by residents of municipalities in Camrose and Flagstaff Counties, including the city, towns, villages and rural areas, to serve as a conduit between the long-term charitable intentions of donors and existing or emerging needs in their communities.
The Foundation’s primary purpose is to accept donations, invest the donations and distribute the investment income according to the wishes of donors expressed at the time the donations are made.
Since its establishment in 1995, over $10,469,392 has been granted to charities and municipalities which are encouraged to consider the Foundation as a source of funding for projects and activities related to education, health and well-being, arts and culture, recreation and more.
2026 BRCF Open House
This year’s event will feature a panel discussion moderated by
Greg King, Associate Professor at the University of Alberta Augustana Campus, bringing together voices from across the Foundation’s story, a donor, a Camrose grant recipient, and a rural grant recipient, to explore what it truly means to invest in community.
Wednesday, June 24 at 7:00 p.m. at the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre in the Mayer Family Community Hall.
The Battle River Community Foundation serves Camrose, Camrose County, Flagstaff County, and Beaver County, and this evening will reflect the breadth of that impact.
David Stolee, Donor and Former Executive Director, Battle River Community Foundation David has seen the Foundation from every angle — helping to build it from the ground up and choosing to invest in it personally as a donor. He’ll share what three decades of community philanthropy looks like from the inside.
Alyssa Martin, Director, Camrose Public Library Alyssa will speak to the experience of applying for grant funding and what that support has meant for her organization and the people it serves in Camrose.
Stacey McLennan, Director, Flagstaff Family and Community Support Services Stacey will offer a rural perspective on community need and share how Foundation funding has made a difference for families and individuals across Flagstaff County.
There will also be time to meet BRCF Board Members, learn more about our granting and scholarship programs, and connect with others who share a passion for building strong, vibrant communities.
Please plan to attend this fast-paced one-hour session, followed by an informal meet-and-greet with refreshments and the chance to reconnect with friends old and new. For the first time, we will also have information booths featuring representatives from some of the incredible organizations we are proud to support, including Flagstaff’s Informed Response Sharing Team (FIRST), Camrose Public Library, Camrose Helps, Camrose FCSS, Camrose Association For Community Living (CAFCL), and Battle River Watershed Alliance.
We look forward to seeing you there!
