Non-profit Affordability Support Fund allocations
As part of adjustments to 2023-2026 Service Plans and Budgets, Council provided one-time funding to address increasing operational costs for organizations that deliver programs for Calgarians experiencing vulnerabilities. These funds were allocated in 2025 via the Non-profit Affordability Support Fund.
Eligible non-profit organizations received funding for operating expenses unmet by existing resources. This fund helped organizations maintain stability and continue delivering vital services to Calgarians experiencing vulnerabilities.
