COMMUNITY SUPPORT

The Creating Shared
Value Fund

Creating Shared Value means making sure the benefits of development reach beyond our facilities and into the communities around them. The Creating Shared Value Fund is one way that commitment comes to life.

Starting in 2026, a portion of revenue from CSV’s Albright facility goes toward this fund that was set up to support community priorities. Decisions on where the money goes are made by a volunteer committee of local residents, independent from CSV.

HOW IT WORKS

Local decisions, lasting impact

Applications are managed through the Northwestern Alberta Foundation (NAF), with a volunteer committee of community members deciding which projects receive support. Applications open in March, funding decisions are made in spring, and approved projects receive funds in summer. This approach ensures resources go where they matter most to local people.

Creating Shared Value

LOCALLY ADMINISTERED

Funding growth

The Creating Shared Value Fund is guaranteed, directed from a portion of revenue generated by our Albright plant. As the facility succeeds, the Fund grows alongside it. The Fund is administered through the Northwestern Alberta Foundation, with decisions on where the money goes guided by local community leaders, independent from CSV. This helps ensure community priorities are supported in a way that is local, thoughtful, and responsive.

WHAT IT SUPPORTS

Strengthening communities together

The Fund backs projects that reflect community priorities, creating shared value for both the organization applying and the community. Its purpose is to provide support that helps communities grow stronger for generations.
