The Community Spirit Program is a two-part approach to encourage increased individual donations.

It includes the Community Spirit Donation Grant Program, which matches cash donations made to non-profits and registered charities operating in Alberta, and the Enhanced Charitable Tax Credit Program, which increased the provincial tax credit to 50 cents for every dollar donated over a $200 threshold.
