The creation of Drumheller’s skatepark is a step closer after receiving grant funding.
The Drumheller Association of Skateboard Enthusiasts, in partnership with the Town of Drumheller, has received a $10,407 grant from the 2014 distribution of The Drumheller Fund.
The Drumheller Family Endowment Fund, administered by The Calgary Foundation was established in 1993 by the Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society, through a donation given by the Drumheller Family.
The Society directs the net income on the fund each year, in consultation with The Calgary Foundation, to organizations in Drumheller including the Cooperating Society itself, for projects that meet the following criteria:
- Projects must be directed at benefiting the Drumheller community, with emphasis on youth.
- Project is to be accessible to the public.
- Funding is not to be used to cover the organization’s operating costs, administration or building maintenance.
- Funding is not used to support ongoing or pre-existing programming expenses.
- Funding does not cover retroactive expenses incurred prior to the grant decision date.
As of December 2014, the Drumheller Fund has distributed $206,600.00 to the Drumheller community.
