City of Calgary: Festival and Events Microgrant Program
November 13, 2020 @ 12:00 am

Calgarians are looking for ways to safely participate in public events like they did before the COVID-19 pandemic. This Microgrant program is meant to support the additional costs for events to meet changing public health guidelines. Keeping arts, culture, sports and/or recreation events safe will improve the wellbeing of citizens and our communities.
There is $75,000 available to support arts, culture, sports and recreation events.
Applications will be accepted from July 20 to November 13, 2020. Apply early – the program closes November 13 or as soon as all funding is allocated.
