Overview of the Community Wellbeing Grant program:

The Community Wellbeing Grant Program, offered by Alberta Blue Cross, is an annual funding opportunity designed to empower local groups and organizations to improve health and wellness outcomes in their communities. The program reflects Alberta Blue Cross’s commitment to supporting the social determinants of health by focusing on the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of Albertans. Grants are awarded to community-led initiatives that create inclusive opportunities for social connection, physical activity, mental health support, and health literacy. Examples include projects like accessible playgrounds, elder activity programs, community kitchens, walking groups, wellness fairs, and culturally inclusive health education. The program welcomes applications from a wide range of organizations, including nonprofits, community leagues, municipalities, Indigenous groups, schools, and grassroots organizations. The initiative prioritizes projects that address health inequities, reach underserved or marginalized populations, and demonstrate strong community collaboration. Projects must be based in Alberta and designed to have a meaningful, measurable impact on community wellness. The grant cannot be used for ongoing operational costs, salaries, or profit-generation activities. The program is part of Alberta Blue Cross’s larger goal of promoting holistic, preventive health and community resilience.
