Some of the initiatives that the Hunter Family Foundation has funded include
The Foundation supports programs which meet a significant need within the community through
entrepreneurial & innovative programs that provides a “hand-up” rather than “hand-out”. We look
favorably upon collaboration and cooperation with other organizations working together.
Grants will be allocated only to registered charitable organizations as identified by Canada
Revenue Agency. The Foundation will provide grants focused on the Calgary region unless
otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees.
We value funding requests that are brief and clear in their intent, and use of funds. Please refrain from using buzzwords or unclear language in your proposal (Ex: we are a dynamic, forward-thinking organization dedicated to leveraging innovative solutions and impactful initiatives to drive sustainable change). Often times, less is more.

Even if your project meets the basic criteria, it will most certainly be competing with other very worthwhile community projects. In any given year, with the limited funds that may be available to the Foundation due to multi-year commitments, a project may be declined.
Funding decisions are typically made in the later part of November. Only those receiving grants will be notified in the mail by mid-December of the granting year.
An email is the best way to make an enquiry. We will make our best effort to answer your questions. As a small family operation, we prefer to receive information on your project and then determine if a meeting would be helpful.
