Grants are made only to organizations recognized as "qualified donees" by the Canada Revenue Agency. This includes registered charities and municipalities. If you are not certain if you qualify, please call the Community Foundation.
Organizations seeking funds must demonstrate a strong and committed volunteer board of directors, fiscal responsibility, and effective management of resources. Partnerships and collaboration are encouraged. Projects that impact the largest number of individuals possible, with a modest investment of funds, are preferred. In general, grants are approved for needs not met by other funding sources.
Grants are made for definite purposes and for projects covering a specific time period. The Community Foundation prefers to make grants to organizations that are responsive to changing community needs. Innovative solutions and preventive actions are welcome.
The amount of monies available for granting in 2011 is currently under review by the Grants Committee.
