Ways to Give

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 $9,308,006 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.

Celebrating 2025 

30 years and we’re just getting started

Did you know that 2025 is a milestone year for the Foundation? This year we celebrate 30 years of serving the Battle River region. It’s a drop in the bucket for an organization founded on a vision of forever but we’re still excited.

Granting changes

The Foundation is always looking at opportunities to improve processes and increase impact. Many of the changes we’ll be implementing in 2025 are related to how we grant.

For example our 2025 grant application deadline will be June 16 rather than August.

Also, our grant applications will also be changing to an online platform rather than submitting by mail or in person.  Don’t worry, we’ll provide training and all the support you need.

If you have questions about these changes call our office 780-679-0449.

Upcoming Events

We’re on the road and headed east January 16 to connect with a few of the charities our generous donors have allowed us to fund in Camrose County and Flagstaff County.

If you or your organization would like to connect with staff or Board Members of Foundation, please let us know and we’ll add you to our next road-trip.
