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.
Community Grants in 2025
Exciting News: Our New Granting Portal Is Live!
The Battle River Community Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new online granting portal — Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM)! 🎉
This user-friendly system will make it easier than ever for organizations to apply for grants from the Foundation. That’s right — no more paper applications! You can now complete your entire application process online, saving time, resources, and the hassle of mailing in documents.
We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to make this upgrade possible because we believe in supporting our community organizations with the same care and innovation they bring to their work. GLM offers a smoother, more efficient experience for applicants and will help us better serve the incredible people doing important work in our region.
Along with the new system, we’re also updating our grant application deadline to better align with our annual cycle. Please note that the new deadline to apply for funding is now June 16 (previously August 15). Mark your calendars!
If your organization is planning to apply for a grant this year, now is the perfect time to explore the new system and get familiar with how it works. The portal is now open for applications, and we encourage you to start early!
👉 Ready to apply or learn more? Visit our How to Apply page to access the new GLM portal.
We can’t wait to support your work in building a stronger, more vibrant community. Thank you for partnering with us to make a difference in the Battle River region!
