Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation is hosting a webinar for information on the Small Community Opportunity Program.
The Government of Alberta has opened applications for the second intake of the Small Community Opportunity Program (SCOP), which will provide grants for non-profits, Indigenous and small communities to help build capacity in agriculture, small business, and local development.
The SCOP provides grants to tackle challenges and tap into opportunities in rural areas. Indigenous and small communities (under 20,000), as well as non-profit groups they work with, may receive between $20,000 and $100,000 for local projects.
To be eligible for funding, projects must align with the Economic Development in Rural Alberta Plan and build entrepreneurship, mentorship and skills development, small business supports and/or partnerships, as well as interconnectivity and collaboration within the local community.
The RMA is hosting a webinar with representatives from Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation to provide an overview of the program, including eligibility criteria and the application process.
The webinar will be hosted on October 22, 2024, from 11:00 am to noon. To register, please click here.
