Summer of love for Alberta’s non-profits

This summer through Crowdfunding Alberta, Albertans can donate to a cause they care about.

Non-profits play a critical role in supporting and building vibrant communities across the province and through the Crowdfunding Alberta platform, Alberta’s government is making it easier than ever to donate to projects that matter to you.

Crowdfunding Alberta is available to non-profits year-round, making it easier for them to raise much-needed funds when they need them. Alberta’s government matches 50 per cent of funds raised by an eligible campaign, up to $5,000 annually, making every donation even more impactful.

“I encourage all Albertans and non-profits to take advantage of the Crowdfunding Alberta platform. The critical work of non-profits never stops. From kids’ camps to animal rescue, donations through Crowdfunding Alberta help non-profits achieve their community goals.” — Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women

All campaigns on Crowdfunding Alberta are pre-screened to ensure donations are going to legitimate and credible Alberta-based organizations. Since it launched in 2021, 220 non-profit organizations have used Crowdfunding Alberta to raise almost $1.2 million, including more than $230,000 in matching funds from Alberta’s government.

Make sure to check out the crowdfunding campaigns that matter to you, and let’s make summer 2024 the summer of love for non-profits in Alberta.
