Summer 2025 Microgrants Awarded to Three Agencies
With the goal of supporting agencies to fulfil their missions, three grants of $5,000 each have been awarded to Boys and Girls Club Wolf Creek, the Mountain View Emergency Shelter, and the Wild Rose Humane Society for the Community Foundation’s Summer 2025 Microgrants cycle. These grants provide financial support for three important initiatives while also representing the Foundation’s commitment to fostering positive change within our community.
The Boys and Girls Club Wolf Creek has provided safe, affordable, reliable, and successful programming to support children, youth, and their families for over 20 years. This funding will enable them to keep the wheels rolling on their 24-passenger bus, which is critical in helping the agency ensure safe access and daily transportation to programming for youth.
The Mountain View Emergency Shelter in Olds will use the grants for their Vision Forward efforts which will help to chart the future of the organization in the form of strategic planning, funding exploration, and marketing development. These future-facing steps will help the agency to fulfill its mission to support individuals and families to live free from family violence and abuse.
Lastly, the Wild Rose Humane Society, located in Didsbury, will use the grant for their innovative Companion Connections initiative. This program fosters meaningful interactions between individuals with disabilities and shelter animals, creating opportunities for connection, healing, and companionship for both participants and animals.
