What do they fund?

• Built Together funds infrastructure projects that foster active living. Eligible projects include but are not limited to:

• Organizations must provide services without regard to race, religion, creed, gender or sexual orientation.
• Priority will be given to projects that reflect the Built Together mandate of promoting active living and wellness at a grassroots community level, with an emphasis on children.
• To ensure province-wide representation, they split grants with one in each of the following communities: Edmonton, Calgary, a secondary city, a rural community and an Indigenous community with a focus on ensuring grants are equitably distributed on a regional basis over the life of the program.
