Working with The Federation of Calgary Communities and their members, The Engagement Toolkit was created to encourage members of the community to volunteer, and to improve the capacity of organizations to involve residents proactively around social development. The Engagement Toolkit offers practical tools to developing healthy communities.
As a collaboration with Sustainable Calgary, The Calgary Foundation, the City of Calgary and the Federation of Calgary Communities, we are working with Calgarians to improve catwalks, pathways, mazes and muse. ActivateYYC recruits, trains and supports volunteers to dream, scheme and activate public spaces in their neighbourhoods.
The Friends of the Federation believes we can achieve our charitable objectives better when we form partnerships. If you are working in an area that supports our objects, and would like to work with a charitable partner to leverage The Calgary Foundation Neighbour Grants, then contact us. We might just be the partner you have been looking for.
