opening doors - A NEw Initiative!

Please note that over the holidays (December 16 - January 4, 2010), there will be a delay in reviewing Opening Doors subsidy applications. If you have an urgent request, email youthfoundation@cyfc.ca and we may be able to accomodate your request.

Opening Doors is a subsidy, supported by the United Way of Calgary and Area and is in partnership with the Calgary Youth Foundation. The purpose of the subsidy is to reduce the rental costs of community facilities in order to enhance access for youth participation in positive events and activities. The subsidy will support any one-time event or short-term activity targeting youth participation between the ages of 12-21 offered during non-school hours. Funding will subsidize facility rental costs for a new activity or expansion of an existing program to a new neighbourhood to a maximum of $2,500.

To ensure participation from youth on all levels, the Calgary Youth Foundation will review Opening Doors applications and make final decisions.

Please see the Frequently Asked Questions for more information.
