Emergency COVID-19 Funding 

Funding Application

OVERVIEW

Update: Please note funding for both Edmonton, Calgary, and Wood Buffalo areas is no longer being accepted as funding has been depleted for these areas.

 

If you live in the Red Deer and surrounding areas please feel free to apply. ACAA considers it essential to assist community members who are at-risk due to the COVID-19  pandemic’s increased health and related economic and social impacts. Through funding support from the  Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP), ACAA is able to provide individuals and families support in addressing some of the financial impacts experienced as a result of COVID-19. Eligibility will apply to off-reserve status and non-status Indians, un-affiliated Métis, and Southern Inuit Aboriginal Peoples. Funding is limited to a one-time allocation which will be determined on prioritization of need. Applications are now  being accepted to receive supports within the following areas:  

​

  1. Essential Goods  

  2. Housing and Shelter 

  3. Communications & Utilities  

  4. Cleaning Supplies 

  5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 

  6. Health and Medical Support 

  7. Educational Support for Children & Youth 

​

Please note: Emergency COVID-19 Funding is limited, and submission of this application does not guarantee funding. This will be determined on a case by case basis and dependent on the number of applications received.
