The Green Economy Calgary Climate Action Microgrant is intended to provide funding to members of Green Economy Calgary to implement sustainability projects. Thanks to the City of Calgary, there is $30,000 available. Microgrants can cover up to 50%, up to $5,000, of total costs to support sustainability projects advancing GHG emission reduction, water conservation, and waste reduction and diversion.
The project must take place within the City of Calgary.
GHG emission reduction projects will address emissions within an organization’s operations and include projects such as activity sensors for lighting installations, air source heat pumps, increased insulation, building envelope improvements, air curtain installation, high-efficiency window replacement, LED lighting retrofit (installation or audit costs), renewable energy projects (solar, geothermal, or wind installation), EV charger installation, and condensing electric tankless water heater installations. This is a non-exhaustive list.
Water conservation projects will reduce water consumption within an organization’s operations and include projects such as the installation of low-flow toilets, waterless urinals, low-flow faucets, aerators and showers, and improving or replacing process-related water-consuming equipment. This is a non-exhaustive list.
Waste reduction & diversion projects will reduce or divert waste across an organization’s operations and include projects such as the development of a waste diversion or reduction strategy, installing high speed energy efficient hand dryers, implementing organic and recycling programs, switching to biodegradable/eco-friendly packaging, and biodigester purchases. This is a non-exhaustive list.
Details of each project category and related requirements can be found in the Green Economy Calgary’s Climate Action Microgrant Application Guide.
