OVERVIEW

The Calgary Flames Foundation is investing in Play! Whilst we provide funding to a broad scope of programs and charities that support our community, due to the recent volume of applications priority and funding emphasis will be given to applications that are using sport, movement, activity and play to benefit the lives of the population they charity works with. Calgary Flames Foundation support prioritizes programs for youth. Eligible applicants must be applying for a program directly serving youth.

During the 2022-23 season, the Calgary Flames Foundation donated over $4.9 million to more than 100 charitable organizations in southern Alberta. Since inception in 1983, the Flames Foundation has donated over $60 million to our community.

In partnership with the Parks Foundation, the goal of the Amateur Sport Grant Program is to promote sport development and enhance sport participation for Calgarians of all ages. The program supports capital projects that provide significant benefit to the continuation and enrichment of sport. Eligible organizations, based in Calgary, can apply for grants for new sports facilities, expanding or improving existing facilities, or purchasing sport-related equipment.

2023 Deadlines to apply: May 1st 2023 and October 3rd 2023

The Amateur Sport Grant Program was created to provide an Olympic legacy from the operations of the Saddledome. The continued success of the program is made possible through a joint community partnership with the Calgary Flames Hockey Club, the Saddledome Foundation, and Parks Foundation Calgary. Since the inception of the Amateur Sport Grant Program, we have awarded more than $15 million dollars to over 560 groups in Calgary.

If you are currently looking for funding for a signature project or capital campaign or looking for funding over $50,000 please contact a member of the foundation directly for more information. To do so, visit HERE.

The Calgary Flames Hockey Club is very active in fulfilling donation requests from charitable and non-profit organizations to assist with their fundraising efforts. Every year the Calgary Flames Hockey Club helps raise thousands of dollars for charities that benefit through the donation of items for auctions.

Charities and non-profit organizations that are interested in requesting a donation must fill out a donation request form. Please note that the request must be submitted no less than five weeks in advance of the event.

To submit a request please send an e-mail to: customerservice@calgaryflames.com.

WHICH ORGANIZATIONS DO WE SUPPORT?

The Calgary Flames Hockey Club supports registered and not-for-profit groups throughout Calgary and Central & Southern Alberta. Due to the volume of requests received, the Calgary Flames will donate directly to a “parent” charitable organization rather than to events that help in support of that charity (For example, a donation may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, but a donation will not be made to an event held in support of the Canadian Cancer Society). In addition, we are unable to accommodate requests for families or individuals.

While the Calgary Flames recognizes their commitment to charitable concerns in our community, the volume of donation requests we receive on an annual basis has required us to limit the amount of donation requests we fulfill.

Although our policies allow us to be generous with our donations, submitting a request does not guarantee your organization will receive a donation. In an attempt to help the greatest number of people, the Calgary Flames are only able to donate one item per year to organizations that are selected. Please note due to the limited availability of seating at Calgary Flames home games, requests for game tickets will not be available for donation purposes.
