Priorities for 2025

 

Mission

Kehila Foundation invests its charitable funds into grants with Canadian charities to benefit the lives of children and youth in Alberta and beyond.

Portfolio Focus

  • Children and youth

Geographic Focus

  • Community of St Albert, Alberta
  • Northern Alberta
  • Occasionally, Kehila Foundation may consider opportunities beyond Alberta

Size of Grants

  • A variety of grant requests will be considered between $5,000-$25,000.

Eligibility

  • Beneficiaries must be registered Canadian charities.
  • Past grant recipients are eligible for new funding when the outcomes of their previous project have been completed.

Reporting

  • All charities receiving grants from Kehila Foundation will be encouraged to report back on progress made every six months until completion for the outcomes they propose.

Granting Process

  • If your charity believes it has an opportunity that would interest Kehila Foundation, complete the Charity Survey well in advance of the granting dates listed in the timetable below.
  • Stronger Philanthropy will conduct a face-to-face interview for organizations that are most closely aligned to Kehila Foundation’s priorities.
  • Shortlisted organizations will receive an emailed invitation to apply for a grant.
  • Instructions for completing the application will be contained in the emailed invitation.
  • Unsolicited applications are not accepted.

Timetable

  • Charity Surveys must be received by August 26, 2025.
  • Based on surveys received, Stronger Philanthropy will email invitations to charities to apply on or after September 9, 2025.
  • Applications will be considered by members of Kehila Foundation by October 30, 2025, with grants awarded soon after.

Next Steps

  • Complete your 2025 Charity Survey.
  • You only need to submit one Charity Survey per year to Stronger Philanthropy. We will keep it on file for all our clients through the remainder of the calendar year.
  • We will contact you if you’ve been selected to complete a grant application.
