ASIP Grant Guide 2026: Who Qualifies and How to Apply

Kevin Girdler · June 2, 2026

Loch Security is an independent security installer. We are not affiliated with, authorized by, or acting on behalf of the Government of Alberta or the Alberta Security Infrastructure Program. The Government of Alberta is solely responsible for administering ASIP and for all eligibility and funding decisions. For official program information, visit alberta.ca.

The Alberta Security Infrastructure Program (ASIP) is a Government of Alberta grant that funds security upgrades for communities at risk of hate-motivated crime — with published caps of up to $55,000 for nonprofits and $65,000 for eligible schools. According to the program's published information it runs on continuous intake with a $5 million yearly budget, processed first-come, first-served. Confirm all current details at alberta.ca.

Who the program lists as eligible

The program's published criteria list places of worship (mosques, synagogues, gurdwaras, temples, churches), cultural and community centres, faith-based schools (Islamic and Jewish schools and the Arabic bilingual stream open until Dec 31, 2026), shelters and cemeteries. The Government of Alberta makes all eligibility decisions — see alberta.ca.

Listed as not eligible

Private homes, for-profit businesses, and daycares.

What ASIP covers

  • Security assessments — up to $10K
  • Equipment & install — cameras, alarms, lighting, access control and fencing (up to $25K)
  • Staff training — up to $10K
  • Incident response — up to $10K

2026 update: cybersecurity is excluded — funding targets physical, on-site security.

How the program's process works

  1. Assessment & quote — the program's published process calls for a security assessment and a vendor quote (a quote from a qualified installer is a required application document, valid about 90 days).
  2. Submission — applications are submitted through alberta.ca.
  3. Approval & claim — once the Government of Alberta approves an application, the work is completed and claimed.

Does the program require a quote before applying? The program's published process lists a quote from a qualified installer as a required application document.
