Climate Innovation Fund Grant Program

The Climate Innovation Fund (CIF) Grant Program funds local climate mitigation projects in Calgary and Edmonton, covering a diverse range of activities, from technology demonstration to collective impact and policy advancement.

Potential projects must tackle urban emissions reduction in buildings and transportation in the following priority areas:

In 2021, $425,000 is available in Calgary and $552,500 is available in Edmonton.

In order to help calibrate the grant call, we are anticipating funding requests in the range of $10,000 to $50,000.

Alberta Ecotrust will accept applications for higher levels of funding (up to $100,000) if the project meets or exceeds the evaluation criteria across multiple categories with a high likelihood of scale-up/replication. In order to be eligible for higher levels of funding applicants must discuss the project with our team prior to submission.
