Community Futures Grande Prairie & Region is a non-profit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors and staffed with business professionals, who together are actively engaged in helping to develop and implement community – based economic development strategies. They do this by supporting new and existing entrepreneurs, businesses and non-profits with one on one coaching and advising and group activities such as training and strategic planning.

Community Futures also controls and manages investment funds from which they make fully repayable loans (up to a maximum of $150,000) for business start up, growth or purchase.
