Building Connected Communities Fund

Asset-Based Community Development is a dynamic approach to community development that focuses on leveraging local assets, strengths, and resources to address community needs and promote strong communities.

The Building Connected Communities fund was created to foster connected communities by supporting organizations in their efforts to implement asset-based community development driven projects. This includes an evaluation of this initiative to develop Calgary-specific outcomes, support for continuous improvement efforts, and recommendations for project sustainment.
