CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation opening applications for $590,000 in grants to support local charities
CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation is set to open grant applications for their Legacy, Community and Transformation Grants on March 11, 2025. This year, the Foundation is awarding $90,000 more than 2024, for a total of $590,000.
Each of the grant streams are designed to support projects of varying scales and fund local housing- and shelter-related initiatives for those who need it most.
Legacy Grants
This is the largest and most substantial investment from CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation. Funding from this is designed to make a substantial impact and create new housing and shelter options in the community. Grants can be for multi-year projects up to a maximum of $1 million distributed over three years.
Community Grants
The Community Grant is designed to fund major repairs or renovations to existing housing and/or shelter supply, with the purpose of keeping people housed in the community.
Transformation Grants
The Transformation Grant provides funding for minor renovation projects to existing infrastructure, with the purpose of improving housing quality for the community’s most vulnerable.
“The CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation is always looking for ways they can reach further and help more Calgarians,” says Christian Twomey, Chair of the CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation. “We are thrilled to be able to offer more in funding than we ever have before and hope to have a significant impact on each organization and the community they support.”
Organizations in Calgary and surrounding areas are encouraged to review the CREB® grant funding guidelines and fill out the pre-application to determine if they qualify for the grants. Applications are open from March 11, 2025, to May 20, 2025, and can be found linked here.
