Community Investment Table

In 2018, Council approved $25 million to support Calgarians’ mental health and addiction issues over five years. In collaboration with six community partners, efforts to increase collective impact among funding agencies and grantmakers have leveraged $1.2 million in addition to the City’s Funding for pilot projects and targeted investments that address issues related to mental health, addiction, and public safety.

By identifying critical gaps, solutions and working on a collaborative approach to funding, we are:

  • Reducing the administrative burden on funded organizations.
  • Ensuring a higher number of projects are funded and adequately meet their resource requirements.
  • Empowering partners to share information, knowledge, and valuable connections to collectively make better funding decisions.
  • Building capacity for bigger impact and ability to adapt to emerging sector needs.
