The Enough for All (E4A) Implementation Catalyst Fund is designed to enable a new way of working together to reduce poverty in Calgary. It assists and supports the existing E4A collaboratives to implement Calgary’s poverty reduction strategy. The Catalyst Fund seeks to increase coordination efforts with existing E4A collaboratives and enhance the conditions for collective impact to occur.
Application Deadline and Review Process
The deadline for submissions is Friday, March 30, 2018. Please submit the complete proposal via email in PDF format to e4a@burnsfund.com.
Learning
The Catalyst Fund strives to encourage “out of the box thinking” and risk-taking. We are interested in learning what works best in creating new connections amongst poverty reduction stakeholders, and understanding new ways of approaching the root causes of poverty. All project learning, including the interim and final results, will be widely shared.
Funding Amount and Duration
The general grant amount is $10,000 to a maximum of $40,000. Grants will be made on an annual one-time basis. Funding may be renewed in subsequent years.
Applicant Accountability
The proposal must be supported by at least one (and ideally more than one) of the existing E4A collaboratives. The lead applicant must be a registered charity and will assume accountability for implementing the project timeline, scope and budget, as well as completing the interim and final reports.
