Youth HQ is proud to announce that Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Red Deer and District has been awarded $608,307 through the government of Alberta Community Facility Enhancement Program (CFEP) for the purpose of facility upgrades to the Centre for Social Impact.
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, Youth HQ.
“I am extremely honoured to support the work of non-profit organizations that aim to foster healthy, vibrant communities across Alberta. Alberta’s government is proud to support organizations that improve the quality of life in our communities.”
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.”
