The Grant Specialist’s primary responsibility is to help local Community Service Organizations locate and leverage public, private and philanthropic sources of funding and other support for their operations, programs and projects. The Grant Writer is governed through a partnership with the Southwest Alberta Sustainable Community Initiative (SASCI). The position is managed by a Steering Committee of volunteers selected for their depth and breadth of interest and experience in supporting community development.

  • The Grant Specialist position has been funded through community partners. We welcome contributions to this program. This will help us to create a sustainable long term grant writer position in Pincher Creek.

    Please contact the grant specialist with your request for more information.

  • Grant submissions are based on the grant deadlines. If there are competing deadlines the grant writer will do the best they can to handle multiple grants at the same time. If there is a conflict the Steering Committee will be asked to step in.
