RADF Annual Reports 2011-2012

Rural Alberta Development Fund (RADF) is an experiment that went right. In 2006, the Government of Alberta provided us with $100 million and a mandate to build capacity in rural Alberta. In November, 2011, we received our final applications, and in March, 2012, our Board of Directors allocated the last of our funds. These dollars will be disbursed until our program sunsets in March, 2014. Until then, we will continue to work with our proponents to maintain the remarkable successes achieved to date.
