Alberta Blue Cross is bringing back its Community Wellbeing grant program for 2024, to support the work of community organizations who promote the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of Albertans.
Last year, the Grande Prairie Palliative Care Society was among the grant recipients, thanks in large part to the charity’s work in enhancing the quality of life for individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. The society is the only one of its kind in Alberta’s Northwest.
Brian Geislinger with the Blue Cross says the organization was “overwhelmed” by the positive response last year.
“We were overwhelmed last year by the positive response to this program, with more than 650 applications from across the province,” he says. “So, we’re thrilled to be able to continue to provide this support again through 2025.”
The Community Wellbeing grant was launched in 2023 and extended into 2024 when it awarded 50 community organizations with a $1,000 grant each to support wellbeing in their communities.
Applications and nominations will be accepted online until April 30th.
