Igniting the Heart + Soul of edmonton

 

 

​ 

 

​To date, $3.5 million has been deployed to help over 100 organizations do what they do best—provide life-altering support, connection and joy to Edmontonians during a very challenging time.  ​

Over the past three years since the pandemic began, we have been committed to providing support to help re-energize Edmonton's arts community; develop new and creative ways to ensure the show can go on; implement innovative fundraising programs to inspire the community to step forward to support the growing demand for food, shelter, mental health, substance abuse and family violence programming; and more.

The $3.5 million committed to date for pandemic relief and recovery efforts is in addition to the $1 million EPCOR provides annually in community support.​

Thank you to the many incredible organizations that have received Heart+ Soul funding, for your resilience during the pandemic. ​​​

"In the middle of the summer our production was very much in doubt. Thanks to EPCOR'S commitment, the building was alive again with staff and crew working towards a common goal – a dedication to bring light, love, and art to the people of Edmonton through A Christmas Carol."


Chantell Ghosh, Executive Director of the Citadel Theatre
