Funding will focus on events\, festivals\, programs and projects delivered in innovative and creative ways that align with public health measures. \n\n“Our non-profit and community organizations deliver programs and services that enhance the quality of life of Albertans. At the height of the pandemic\, we focused grant funding on front-line organizations providing critical services to Albertans\, but now we can focus again on projects that improve and enrich our communities. We are thrilled to relaunch the Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant to support Alberta’s non-profits in their important work to rebuild social connections in our communities and support Alberta’s economic recovery.” \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, Minister of Culture\, Multiculturalism and Status of Women\n\n\n“As a non-profit organization operating sport facilities in the City of Edmonton\, we have always valued the Community Initiatives Project-Based grant program. With relaunch\, we could apply to the program for funds to acquire disinfectant machines to improve safety conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic at all of our indoor facilities\, along with computer upgrades to handle a new reservation system.” \nAdrian Newman\, CEO\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n“This funding program has helped GlobalFest launch a number of community-based\, innovative projects over the years. We are thrilled that Alberta’s government has reintroduced this invaluable funding opportunity to support organizations throughout our province.” \nKen Goosen\, producer & CFO\, GlobalFest \n\nThe Community Initiatives Program Project-Based grant was paused in May to reallocate funds to help struggling front-line charities and non-profits maintain their core operations and provide services during the COVID-19 pandemic. \nAlberta’s Recovery Plan is a bold\, ambitious long-term strategy to build\, diversify\, and create tens of thousands of jobs now. By building schools\, roads and other core infrastructure we are benefiting our communities. By diversifying our economy and attracting investment with Canada’s most competitive tax environment\, we are putting Alberta on a path for a generation of growth. Alberta came together to save lives by flattening the curve and now we must do the same to save livelihoods\, grow and thrive. \nQuick facts\n\nAlberta has more than 26\,000 non-profit organizations.\nCommunity grants programs provide essential funding to about 800 of these organizations.\nEach year\, 1.6 million Albertans provide more than 262 million volunteer hours to support the non-profit and voluntary sector.\nNon-profit institutions contribute $5.6 billion to the economy every year.\nThe volunteer organizations and non-profits the ministry supports play a significant role in the quality of life of Albertans by helping them remain physically and mentally\n\n\n\nRelated information | Renseignements connexes (en anglais seulement)\n\nCommunity Initiatives Program (CIP) Project-Based grant\n\n\n\n\nReprise du financement des projets communautaires\nLe gouvernement de l’Alberta rouvre le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires pour soutenir la reprise économique et créer des liens sociaux.\nLes organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif de l’Alberta ont jusqu’au 15 septembre pour présenter une demande de subvention dans le cadre du Programme d’initiatives communautaires\, qui vise à favoriser la santé et le dynamisme des communautés de l’Alberta. Le financement sera axé sur les événements\, les festivals\, les programmes et les projets mis en œuvre de façon novatrice et créative\, en harmonie avec les mesures de santé publique en vigueur. \n\n« Nos organismes communautaires et sans but lucratif offrent des programmes et des services qui améliorent la qualité de vie des Albertains et des Albertaines. Au plus fort de la pandémie\, nous avons concentré le financement des subventions à l’intention des organismes de première ligne qui fournissent des services essentiels à la population albertaine\, mais nous pouvons maintenant recommencer à financer des projets qui améliorent et enrichissent nos communautés. Nous sommes ravis de soutenir la reprise économique de notre province en relançant le volet des subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires afin de soutenir les organismes sans but lucratif de l’Alberta dans leur important travail qui consiste à stimuler la création de liens sociaux au sein de nos communautés. » \nLeela Sharon Aheer\, ministre de la Culture\, du Multiculturalisme et de la Condition féminine\n\n\n« En tant qu’organisme sans but lucratif qui exploite des installations sportives dans la ville d’Edmonton\, nous avons toujours apprécié les subventions de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires. Grâce à la relance\, nous avons pu demander des fonds pour acquérir des machines de désinfection qui amélioreront les conditions de sécurité causées par la pandémie de COVID-19 dans toutes nos installations intérieures. Nous pourrons aussi procéder à la mise à niveau de notre matériel informatique\, ce qui nous aidera à gérer un nouveau système de réservation. » \nAdrian Newman\, directeur général\, Edmonton Soccer Association Facilities\n\n\n« Ce programme de financement a aidé GlobalFest à lancer des projets communautaires novateurs au fil des ans. Nous sommes ravis que le gouvernement de l’Alberta ait remis en œuvre cette précieuse possibilité de financement qui soutient les organismes de toute la province.» \nKen Goosen\, producteur et directeur financier\, GlobalFest  \n\nLa subvention de projets du Programme d’initiatives communautaires a été interrompue en mai dernier afin de réaffecter les fonds pour aider les organismes de bienfaisance et sans but lucratif de première ligne en difficulté à maintenir leurs activités de base et à fournir des services pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. \nLe plan de relance de l’Alberta est une stratégie à long terme audacieuse et ambitieuse qui vise à créer\, à diversifier et à consolider des dizaines de milliers d’emplois\, dès aujourd’hui. La construction d’écoles\, de routes et d’autres installations de base profite à nos collectivités. En diversifiant notre économie et en attirant des investissements grâce à l’environnement fiscal le plus concurrentiel au Canada\, nous mettons l’Alberta sur la voie de la croissance. L’Alberta s’est unie pour sauver des vies en aplatissant la courbe et nous devons maintenant faire de même pour sauver nos moyens de subsistance\, et pour croître et prospérer. \nEn bref\n\nL’Alberta compte plus de 26 000 organismes sans but lucratif.\nChaque année\, les programmes de subventions communautaires fournissent un financement essentiel à environ 800 d’entre eux.\nLes établissements sans but lucratif contribuent 5\,6 milliards de dollars par an à l’économie.\nLes organismes bénévoles et les organismes sans but lucratif que le ministère soutient jouent un rôle important dans la qualité de vie des Albertains et des Albertaines en les aidant à rester en bonne santé physique et mentale.

SUMMARY:GWDC: Season Launch (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Ainsley Hillyard\, Alison Kause\, Alida Kendell\, and Kate Stashko of Good Women Dance Collective (GWDC) invite you to celebrate the launch of their most memorable season yet!  \n\n\n  \n\n\nContemporary dancer and co-founder of Montreal’s Wants&Needs Danse\, Sasha Kleinplatz\, will be joining GWDC’s 2020/21 season for Convergence 2021—the collective’s annual show that highlights various works from different artists including Dustin Stamp\, a fancy dancer from Saddle Lake Cree Nation\, and guests; and a collaboration between GWDC and poet and spoken word artist\, Brandon Wint.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nSeason 2020/21 also features an exciting collaboration between FEMME\, an all-female vocal quartet\, and GWDC in which they reflect upon domestic abuse during the world premiere of The Beginning of Happiness by Edmonton composer\, Jane Berry\, choreographed by GWDC\, and performed by FEMME and GWDC. While the composition draws on Berry’s experience with domestic violence\, the work encourages performers to bring their own thoughts into the work so that their own personal experiences are included in the show. \n\n\n  \n\n\n“In these uncertain times\, GWDC is excited to continue supporting the creation of new work by courageous and curious artists from across Canada. We are all learning quickly and becoming more adaptable and agile—pivoting has multiple meanings for dance in the 2020/21 season and we are excited by the transformative possibilities that can arise out of uncertainty.”   \n\n\n  \n\n\nIn between each production\, Canadian artists Anastassiia La Musa\, Lebogang Disele\, Krista Lin\, Erin Pettifor\, Nina Milanovski\, and Larissa Pohoreski will be completing residencies at GWDC’s new space located within the Shumka Dance Centre\, just a six-minute walk from their previous studio at The Ruth Carse Centre for Dance.  \n\n\n  \n\n\nGWDC will be kicking off Season 2020/21 with a virtual celebration on September 15th from 7 to 8 pm via Facebook live. The night will feature interviews and brief performances by Lebogang Disele\, Deviani Bonilla\, Phany Peeña\, Larissa Pohoreski\, Jane Berry\, Brandon Wint\, Erin Pettifor\, and Nina Milanovski\, as well as a DJ dance party. All are invited to attend.
