Human Services Advisory Board Grants

Chestermere has developed a joint application process for the streamlined administration of Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) and United Way/Chestermere Partnership Funding. This process contributes to finding success in effectively allocating resources and achieving intended results. The application has been developed with prevention, early intervention and community development as foundational program delivery strategies for reaching our overarching goals and priority outcomes.

The Social Investment Framework supports and guides staff and the Human Services Advisory Board (HSAB) to allocate resources for the work of Community and Social Development including FCSS and the United Way. Resources can then be invested through a combination of direct service and grants to community service providers to meet the highest priority needs in the community. 

How to Apply 


The application process for 2020 FCSS and United Way/Chestermere Partnership Funding is now closed. Applications for 2021 funding will open in June 2020 and any interested groups or organizations are welcome to apply.

Grants are on a calendar year of January to December with no expectation of continued funding beyond that term.
