CCEDNet is inviting project proposals to implement regional systems building projects, focused on supporting community organizations, social enterprises, and community economic development (CED).
Picture multiple sectors that are interconnected so well that they form a social web of support and collaboration in a region. These are the kinds of networks we are aiming at.
These types of projects are sometimes referred to as “social ecosystem” building, “network weaving,” or “social infrastructure” development. We are less concerned about the terminology you choose, and more interested in what you aim to do.
Projects can access a $5,000 to $80,000 grant to support their initiative. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis and will be reviewed by staff with additional input from members or partners. All successful projects must be complete, including final reporting and invoicing by March 15, 2024.
Projects in any Canadian province or territory outside of Manitoba or Alberta are eligible*
