Summary
Twice a year—typically in late winter and summer—this foundation invites nonprofits, charities, Indigenous groups, and individual applicants within Canada to express interest. Grants are organized into three broad focus areas: civic engagement for social change, environmental initiatives, and housing. Each funding stream follows a two-stage process: first submit a brief Letter of Inquiry; a selection committee reviews these and invites a subset to submit full proposals. Final decisions are made by the board after committee recommendations, typically within about three months of the full‑application deadline. Funds are generally disbursed following board approval.
Prioritizes groups dedicated to justice‑oriented change, climate justice, Indigenous collaboration, affordable housing, adult education, and systems‑level impact. It favors flexible, trust‑based relationships—supporting multi‑year grants, collaborative projects, and initiatives led by equity‑deserving communities—over rigid, short‑term funding models.
Typical grant sizes average around $25,000, though awards may reach up to $50,000, with total annual giving often surpassing $2 million, distributed across dozens of grantees. Recipients may apply funds toward core operational costs tied to project delivery, capacity building, public engagement, policy development, or advocacy work—so long as funding never covers deficits, capital campaigns, emergency appeals, or purely commercial enterprises.
Geographically, the program is limited to work within Canada, with special attention paid to partnerships involving First Nations, Métis, Inuit, immigrant or refugee communities, BIPOC-led entities, and cross-sector coalitions.
Overall, this opportunity is ideal for Canadian nonprofit and community groups—or even individuals—seeking meaningful, systems-focused investments to support inclusive civic engagement, environmental justice, housing affordability, or educational equity. With grants ranging from mid-five figures into the low‑six‑figure level, this foundation champions long-term, trust-based support rooted in collaboration and social change.
