  • Federation of Calgary Communities
Overview of the Action Grants program:

Offered through the Federation of Calgary Communities in partnership with Lloyd Sadd Insurance Brokers, the Lloyd Sadd Insurance Action Grants are designed to assist Calgary community organizations in mitigating risks, increasing safety, and strengthening their capacity to manage operations. These microgrants support initiatives that help non-profits, community associations, and social recreation groups address safety concerns, reduce liability exposure, and improve compliance with insurance standards and best practices. The program recognizes that even small investments can lead to meaningful improvements in community risk management and safety. Funding can be used for safety upgrades to facilities, minor equipment purchases, volunteer training, developing policies and procedures, or conducting safety audits. The program is intentionally simple and accessible, with a short application and flexible use of funds, making it ideal for grassroots organizations with limited budgets. The grant serves as a proactive insurance-related support tool and encourages community groups to take small, actionable steps that contribute to long-term sustainability. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and are typically approved within weeks of submission. While the grant is modest in size, it offers a valuable opportunity for community organizations to address immediate safety or risk concerns, often in ways that may not be funded by other programs.
