Big Brothers Big Sisters of Red Deer is excited to announce that the agency received $1,000,000 through the Community Facility Enhancement Program in support of facility enhancements and upgrades to the recently acquired Centre for Social Impact building.
The Centre for Social Impact (CSI) is an inspiring place where charities and non-profits can collaborate; a place centrally located where families can readily access a variety of supports and services; and a place where organizations can share resources and minimize operating costs.
“We are grateful for the support from CFEP, which enables us to address facility enhancements and upgrades in support of the charities and non-profits that share this place where community connects.” States Rob Lewis, Executive Director, YouthHQ.
“Investments into non-profits in our communities, like Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Red Deer not only support new activities and programming but uplift youth and help build stronger communities. Alberta’s government is proud to provide this million dollar grant to Red Deer Big Brothers and Big Sisters, as they provide essential supports and services for the youth of Red Deer and surrounding area.”
Tanya Fir, Minister of Arts, Culture and Status of Women
“The CFEP grant awarded to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Red Deer and District is very exciting news for Red Deer and surrounding communities. This substantial investment will directly benefit our community by supporting essential youth programs, providing lasting benefits for our youth in the years to come. I was happy to write a letter of support, as I am continually inspired by the work Youth HQ does in our community. This grant will undoubtedly enhance their ability to make a positive impact.”
