this little light is a grassroots nonprofit organization based in Calgary, Alberta, providing low-barrier micro-grants to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship. We support essential, often overlooked needs such as medical-related expenses, counselling, transportation, and basic living costs. Our approach is flexible, responsive, and rooted in dignity—allowing us to meet people where they are and provide timely assistance during moments of acute need. By filling small but critical gaps, we help reduce immediate stress and create meaningful, real-life impact for those who may not qualify for traditional supports.
