Field Law Community Fund Program Kicks Off Public Voting Phase

Starting today, residents of Alberta and the Northwest Territories (NWT) have the chance to decide which grassroots projects will share in $85,000 in community funding this year, as public voting opens for the Field Law Community Fund Program.

The annual initiative, now in its 13th year, will officially surpass a major milestone when funds are awarded later this year: $1 million distributed to amazing, pay-it-forward initiatives since it began.

From now until November 21, 2025, the public can review and vote for their favourite ideas on the Community Fund Program website. The funding is divided across community markets: $30,000 each for northern and southern Alberta, $20,000 for the NWT, and an additional $5,000 ‘Next Gen Award’ dedicated to post-secondary student-led initiatives.

“Our voting process allows us to hear directly from the community about where the greatest local needs are,” says Farha Salim, Field Law’s Managing Partner. “This year, we’ve been inspired by the creativity and heart behind the community interest projects submitted, from longstanding organizations to emerging grassroots initiatives. We encourage all residents of Alberta and the NWT to vote for causes and projects that inspire them and strengthen their communities.”

With offices in Calgary, Edmonton, Yellowknife, and Canmore, Field Law created the Community Fund Program to give back meaningfully to the places where they live and work. The funding for each community market is awarded by local judging panels, who closely review both the applications and the public votes in making their decisions. Voting closes November 21, with winners being announced on December 9, 2025.

To vote and to view a full list of this year’s applicants and previous winners, please visit the Community Fund Program website.
