JLC Receives Community Spirit Grant

For the third year in a row the Junior League of Calgary has been successful in our application to Alberta‘s Community Spirit Donation Grant Program. The League recently received a 2010 Community Spirit Grant award of $13,362!

The Province of Alberta established the Community Spirit Donation Grant Program to encourage cash donations to qualified organizations by individual Albertans. Our 2010 grant was based on individual donations from members and supporters received from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010. This year‘s program matched our first $10,000 in donations at 90% and the balance at 55%.

Many thanks to all who have given generously to the JLC – with this program your donations have accomplished even more. The extension of the Community Spirit Grant Program beyond its original three years (2008-2010) was recently announced and we look forward to benefiting from the program in the future!
