The CTV Good Neighbour Fund is a registered non-profit charitable organization that has operated quietly and efficiently in Edmonton and North Central Alberta since 1993. The volunteer Board of Directors gathers monthly to review applications for assistance. There are few criteria except that the applicant must have exhausted all other avenues of funding through existing sources and they must show that they have some level of financial stability. Most applications come to the Good Neighbour Fund from social workers familiar with the system, who understand the limitations of existing funding sources, and who recognize that help from the CTV Good Neighbour Fund would move this individual or family forward and lead to their future success as strong, contributing members of our community.
