How it Works

Organizations in Canada that align with our funding criteria are invited to apply to our Grant Programs. Applicants should clearly indicate whether they are seeking a single donation or extended support over multiple years, based on the needs of their initiative. The Foundation provides a range of funding opportunities to cater to different project requirements.

Our grant programs have an open application period with no fixed deadlines, and submissions are evaluated continuously.
