Yesterday, Premier Ed Stelmach announced that 1,741 were awarded grants through the Alberta government’s Community Spirit Program. Kids Up Front (Edmonton) is thrilled to announce that our Foundation will receive a grant in the amount of $15,577.

“This is a wonderful gift that will strengthen our ability to deliver our 2010 program. I express heartfelt thanks to the Community Spirit Program for recognizing Kids Up Front, and to our financial supporters who made possible this opportunity.” KARLA SCHELL, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The Community Spirit Program was launched in 2008 and is intended to encourage Albertans to donate to their charities of choice. Organizations, like Kids Up Front, can apply for a match of up to $25,000 for donations received from individuals throughout the year.
