The Neighbourhood Services Funding Program focuses on creating a healthy city. We do this through community development approaches that are guided by collaboration, equity, diversity and inclusion like GBA+ analysis, local assets (Asset-Based Community Development), and best practices. The funding supports neighbourhood goals that align with City of Edmonton priorities.
The purpose of this funding is to encourage Edmontonians to build connections, collaborations and partnerships with their neighbours and community. We will invest in initiatives that connect community by engaging and involving diverse people, build or increase social cohesion, and create bridges across communities. Neighbourhood funding aligns with the ConnectEdmonton Strategic Plan and supports the City Plan Intentions.
Neighbourhood Funding aligns with the ConnectEdmonton Strategic Plan through the following opportunities:
