Accessing Program & Project Funding
Calgary Homeless Foundation partners with community serving agencies, consultants, researchers, and other stakeholders to help fight homelessness in Calgary. In doing so together, we will improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities.
We fund programs and projects through various public, competitive, and accountable procurement methods such as Requests for Proposals (RFP), grant funding opportunities and other public calls for application processes.
Funding and grants are awarded based on the quality of proposals received and the contribution to Calgary’s homeless-serving system-of-care.
From time to time, there are funding, grant, and project opportunities available. These opportunities will be posted on this page as they are released.
If you have any questions regarding opportunities for partnerships, grants, or funding, please contact us at funding@calgaryhomeless.com.

Questions & Answers
If you have questions about the application process, please submit them by email: funding@calgaryhomeless.com.
All questions and responses to them will be available on this page. Deadline for questions: July 28, 2026
Question 1: The RFP states that the intended period of contract is October 2026 to March 2028. The budget states up to $700,000 per year. What is the total amount for the contract period?
The funding amount of $700,000 represents the annual funding for a full fiscal year (April to March). Since we expect the agency to begin operations near the end of Q2 or the beginning of Q3, the funding will be prorated accordingly. Based on this assumption, funding for October 2026 to March 2027 would be approximately $350,000, followed by $700,000 annually in subsequent years.
Question 2: Is the $80,000 for renovations in addition to the $700,000 budget for the first year? Or is it part of the $700,000?
The $80k is in addition to the program budget and is a one-time grant for the first year.
We will provide the final Q&A update on July 30.
