Alberta Ecotrust Foundation is now accepting applications for the Springboard Grant for organizations seeking to develop new strategies or improve processes/systems to achieve an environmental outcome. The grant program is intended to increase the capacity of Alberta organizations to complete eco-forward projects which contribute to the following areas:
1. Nature-based Solutions & Conservation
Alberta values, develops and fully integrates Nature-based Solutions to achieve environmental, economic and social objectives. Alberta Ecotrust supports Indigenous-led efforts and implementation of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs).
2. Climate Resilience & Emissions Reductions
Alberta achieves the vision of carbon neutrality and resilient communities by mid-century. Alberta Ecotrust supports projects and initiatives that have the potential to scale to achieve this vision within this timeframe.
3. Circular Economy
Alberta has a circular economy that preserves the value of energy, labour, and materials. Alberta Ecotrust supports projects and initiatives that promote durability, reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling to keep products, components, and materials circulating in the economy.
4. Overarching/Foundational
Initiatives in this Focus Area will yield positive environmental benefits while addressing environmental justice and/or lack of access for marginalized or underrepresented groups; undertake and improve monitoring, measurement, and reporting plans; or explore financial mechanisms that unlock the economic value of ecosystem benefits and/or provide essential funding to support a diverse range of projects, ultimately advancing our focus areas of NbS Solutions & Conservation, Climate Resilience & Emissions Reductions, or Circular Economy.
