Community Grant Policy

The objective of the Community Grant Policy 002/2024 is to provide modest levels of support for community events through a clear and equitable funding process.

There are two categories of support under the Community Grant Policy:

  • Community Grant Program - funding for community-based organizations/groups/clubs and/or community festivals and events
  • Facility Rental Discounts - waiver of rentals of Town of Rocky Mountain House-operated facilities.

Applications are accepted throughout the year and will be considered by Council as they are received.
