The granting guidelines are listed here for you to review prior to contacting ADF or submitting an application form.
- Grants will only be made to Alberta-based not-for-profit organizations with Revenue Canada Charitable Registration Numbers or other Alberta-based qualified donees under the Income Tax Act.
- Organizations must demonstrate a strong and committed board of directors or governing body, fiscal responsibility, and management qualifications.
- Grants are awarded for definite purposes.
- Preference is given to projects which: a) Ensure that Albertans receive safe and appropriate quality dental care as part of their overall health care; b) Deliver evidence-based dental care in a community setting which provides dental services to vulnerable populations; c) Promote volunteer participation and citizen involvement in the dental community.
- Capital projects will be considered if there is a demonstrated need.
Project proposals not eligible for funding are those that:
- Support only operating expenses of established organizations or programs;
- Go towards wages or salaries;
- Go towards operating or capital deficits;
- Go towards annual fund drives for sustaining support;
- Establish or add to endowment funds;
- Promote politically partisan activities;
- Provide general conference support.
There will be an ongoing evaluation reporting process. The expectation is that the successful applicant will provide ongoing evidence of achieving certain milestones. These milestones would be discussed and agreed upon prior to funding. Projects that don’t meet the agreed criteria may lose their funding.
