Calgary Children's Foundation |
PLEDGE DAY 2012 WILL BE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7TH IN THE LOBBY OF THE WESTIN CALGARY.
In May, the QR77/Westin Hotel Calgary Children’s Foundation board reviewed applications from a wide variety of local children’s charities and is now in the process of disbursing the funds. The successful applicants work with children who are physically, mentally and/or financially disadvantaged. We donate to mostly small, grass-roots groups who have limited dollars for fundraisers, communications, etc. We put the money directly into the hands of the people who are working to improve the lives of Calgary kids. We do not give money to any organization that has a specific religious affiliation.
Thank you to all the charities who applied for funding this year. The board had many difficult decisions to make. Unfortunately, the number of requests far exceeded the amount of money the QR77/Westin Hotel Calgary Children’s Foundation was able to give. Applications are considered on their own merit each year. Each application is considered a one-time grant and there is absolutely no guarantee that the charity will receive funding in subsequent years.
The application deadline for funding is March 31, 2013. However, if you have an emergent funding need; please contact the Calgary Children’s Foundation to explain your urgent situation and the board may consider funding out-side the usual giving time-frame. Enquiries can be made by contacting the Administrator: Betty Jo Kaiser
