This giving season, earn up to $5,000 in match funding through Crowdfunding Alberta

With the giving season right around the corner, now is the perfect time to get started on your first or next Crowdfunding Alberta campaign. Crowdfunding Alberta is an online fundraising program developed specifically for Alberta’s non-profit/voluntary sector organizations, such as agricultural societies. Through Crowdfunding Alberta, 50% of donations made to campaigns, within eight weeks of launching online, will be matched by government up to $5,000 per organization per year (April 1 – March 31).

Crowdfunding Alberta uses government match funding to entice donors to support Alberta-based non-profit organizations and initiatives while connecting Alberta’s non-profit organizations with a wider network of supporters. Match funding is proven to not only encourage people to give - but to give more generously. Since launching in November 2021, Crowdfunding Alberta has helped Alberta’s non-profits earn over $1.5 million in donations and match funding.

If seed testing is something you only think about when you have to, this discussion might change how you see and use it.
