Fund Type
Alberta’s government is providing $1 million in top-up funding to encourage more donations to the Crowdfunding Alberta platform, which will enable organizations to quickly raise money by collecting small, individual contributions from a large pool of donors through an online platform and help donors find local non-profits and causes they care about.
To incentivize donations on the platform, campaigns with a minimum target of $5,000 that reach 75 per cent of their campaign goal within four weeks of launching may be eligible for up to $2,500 in top-up funding. This funding is available to qualifying organizations while funds last. Albertans are welcome to support as many campaigns as they wish. Registering non-profits are vetted, so donors can contribute to campaigns with confidence.
Crowdfunding Alberta is an important part of Creative Partnerships Alberta, a bold and innovative way to build a thriving non-profit sector by sparking private investment in non-profits, growing social enterprises and increasing collaboration to find new solutions to social challenges. This initiative will:
- increase private funding and support to non-profits and arts organizations through new funding approaches
- grow social innovation and social finance
- provide non-profits with mentorship and coaching
