Where do we get our funding?
The Beacon Heights Community League has several sources of funding for different initiatives and projects.
- Our annual membership drive is an important fundraiser. Having a large number of members helps us obtain more external funding. Membership fees help to offset the cost of community programs.
- We apply for grants through the City of Edmonton, the Province of Alberta and the Government of Canada.
- We host a casino every two years that is operated by our volunteers. This fundraising initiative provides the bulk of our funds for our operating budget.
- Fees from the sports teams assist in the cost of sports, such as uniforms, umpire fees, coaching clinics, etc.
- Raffle tickets, Grey Cup Pool tickets, etc.
How do I find out what is happening in the community?
- Walk about and visit with neighbours.
- Get to know those who live on your block.
- Attend community events.
- Join the Beacon Heights Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and Instagram.
