The deadline for applications has passed. We will be announcing the winners of the $100,000 in mid-October during Co-operatives in Canada week.
2022 Winners
The Rural Communities Foundation was created in 2014 as a way to distribute archived equity funds back into rural communities where UFA has a presence.
The foundation is committed to giving $500,000 over five years to rural Alberta to improve the sustainability of farmers and ranchers in Alberta. Communities are encouraged to apply for projects that enrich education, recreation and culture.
