Edmonton Community Foundation’s (ECF) Young Edmonton Grants (YEG) program provides local youth with funding to turn their ideas into reality.

THE YEG PROGRAM GIVES FUNDING for projects initiated, led, and organized by young Edmonton and area residents. 

Eligibility
  • Most kinds of activities can be funded, as long as they are “initiated and organized” by young Edmonton and area residents (13 to 24 years).
  • Funding will NOT be awarded for any projects, programs, or initiatives that:
    • involve direct religious activity;
    • involve partisan political activity;
    • benefit an individual (such as a scholarship);
    • have already occurred; or
    • involve funds requested being redirected to activities beyond the Edmonton area (e.g. disaster relief in another country).
  • To receive funding, applicants must partner with a registered Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) charity (includes schools). Partner charities will be required to complete an online form, automatically sent through the online application, supporting the applicant’s project.
  • The partner charity must be aware of the application. For junior and senior high school students, Edmonton Public or Catholic Schools may be willing to accept grants. A representative (Executive Director or Principal) from your partner charity must complete an online form.
  • For post-secondary institutions, a director of student services may be the appropriate representative.
