Edmonton Immigrant and Refugee Communities Grant Program

The Edmonton Immigrant and Refugee Communities (EIRC) Grant Program contributes to the City of Edmonton’s value: “I want to BELONG and contribute”. It supports grassroots immigrant and refugee communities who are in the process of settling and integrating. For newcomers, immigrants and refugees, the barriers to full inclusion in the community are often significant and tend to be complex, intersectional and almost always systemic.

The EIRC Grant Program has 4 Funding Streams

Space Subsidy

Seed Grants

Community Impact Grants

Community Special Projects Grants

***There are 2 intake periods for this grant.

1. The first intake deadline was the third Thursday of March (now closed).
