How To Apply For Community Grants

2026 Grant Applications Are Now CLOSED

Who Can Apply

Grants are available annually to organizations recognized as Qualified Donees by the Canada Revenue Agency — including registered charities, school divisions, and municipalities. Not sure if you qualify? Contact us.

If your organization is not a Qualified Donee, you may still be eligible by partnering with a Qualified Donee on a joint project. Additional information about the partnership will be required as part of the application.

What We Look For

We fund projects that demonstrate:

  • A strong, committed volunteer board of directors
  • Fiscal responsibility and effective resource management
  • Broad community impact relative to the funds requested
  • Collaboration and partnerships where possible

We look for projects where our funding makes a real difference — filling gaps, enabling something new, or helping an organization move forward. We are less likely to fund requests where our grant would serve as a primary source of operating support or cover the bulk of a major capital cost.

After You Apply

If your application is successful, you’ll be asked to sign a Grant Agreement before funds are released. Funds are generally distributed in the fall. At the end of your project, a brief follow-up report will be required.
