Community Wellness Application

What are Community Wellness Grants?

The Wellness Program is about creating a culture of wellness within the City of Lacombe. Foremost, it is a community-owned, city-wide initiative that supports citizen wellness through grassroots engagement. These grants serve to encourage our community to come forward as leaders and take an active role to promote health and wellness.

Who is Eligible to Apply for Wellness Grants?

Initiatives supporting wellness will be eligible for funding.

  • Any Lacombe or Lacombe County non-profit, community group, school or business is eligible to apply for funding. Special consideration may be given to other community members (i.e. high school students) on a case-by-case basis.

What are the criteria for funding?

Funding will be available for projects that meet the following criteria:

  1. Makes an important contribution to support community wellness
  2. Builds partnerships and collaborations
  3. Addresses a gap or strengthens an existing asset within the community
  4. Creates opportunities for citizen engagement
  5. Demonstrates potential for a meaningful impact to the community

Funding Guidelines

Matching grants up to $500 dollars will be awarded per project, based on demonstrated need.
