For the ninth year, Alberta Blue Cross® is committed to helping Albertans build safe, vibrant spaces for individuals, families, children and seniors to live actively in their communities. The 2022 Built Together program is now accepting applications.
Built Together is a program that offers $50,000 grants to fund infrastructure projects designed to foster active living. Grants are awarded to projects in one of each of the following areas: Edmonton, Calgary, a secondary city, a rural community and an Indigenous community.
Since the program’s inception in 2013, Alberta Blue Cross has funded a total of 38 projects across Alberta, including outdoor gyms, sports courts, a bike skills park, playgrounds, a skate park, an outdoor rink and more.
Open for applications
Community leagues, school councils, municipalities and other non-profits across Alberta can now apply for the Built Together grant.
The application process closes at midnight on September 15, 2022.
