The Alberta Lottery Fund is made up of the government's share of net revenues from VLTs, slot machines, and ticket lotteries. These revenues total more than $1 billion each year, and are used to support thousands of volunteer, public and community-based initiatives annually.

The Alberta Lottery Fund is administered as part of the Ministry of Gaming, through the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC).

The Alberta Lottery Fund provides funding to thousands of volunteer, public and community-based initiatives annually including: community facilities, libraries, museums, sports and athletic events, agricultural societies, major exhibitions, public athletic facilities, senior's groups, and recreation. Public initiatives include: infrastructure projects, school and health facility construction, and senior's facility upgrades.
