Supporting Local
Pay-It-Forward Ideas
We’re excited to announce that the Field Law Community Fund Program will be back in September! With last year’s awards, the Program reached $1,000,000 in funding since its launch. That’s a million reasons to celebrate!
This year, $80,000 in funding is available for distribution across Alberta and the Northwest Territories. We invite local individuals, organizations, and projects to apply for this opportunity.
Field Law’s preferred causes are those that support education, healthcare, at-risk youth, homelessness, diversity, equality, women’s organizations, community and sports or arts and culture, but we are open to any great ideas with a meaningful community impact.
