CFSEA to launch Lanfine Wind Community Grant

The Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta (CFSEA) will launch the Lanfine Wind Community Fund Grant on June 17. This new grant stream has been established by Pattern Energy to support local initiatives and community-based organizations for the people of Special Area 3, the MD of Acadia, and the Town of Oyen. To launch this inaugural grant stream, CFSEA will host a virtual Grant Writing Workshop on June 11th at 12:00 pm for anyone interested in learning more.

The Lanfine Wind Community Fund Grant will start accepting grant applications from charities and non-profit organizations within Special Area 3, MD of Acadia, and the Town of Oyen on June 17th, 2024, through an online grant portal. The priority areas include Local Communities, First Nation and Metis Initiatives, Environmental, Youth and Education, and Health and Wellness. This new, annual grant stream will be facilitated by the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta and reviewed by an Advisory Committee including a representative from each area being supported, a CFSEA representative, and the project manager of the Lanfine Wind Project.

“We are extremely fortunate to collaborate with Pattern Energy and the local team on the Lanfine Wind Project, helping to steer their corporate community investment. This will play a crucial role in strengthening the area's charitable sector. Pattern Energy's enduring legacy will benefit the community for generations to come.” – Chris Christie, Executive Director of the Community Foundation of Southeastern Alberta
