Thank you for your interest. We are currently not accepting new applications due a number of ongoing multi-year commitments across the Atlantic Provinces.

All eligible online submissions are reviewed by our staff within 4 weeks of receipt. If your submission meets our criteria, you may be contacted to provide additional details, relevant financial information or to schedule a follow-up conversation or site visit. This allows us to better understand your work, ask more in-depth questions and engage with the principle parties involved.

Submissions are then assessed by our team and relevant information is compiled for review by our Board of Directors (BOD). Our Board of Directors meet twice annually (May & November) to discuss grant requests and make a final decision on open applications based on the Foundation’s funding priorities and available funds.

Please refer to our “What We Fund” page.

Please note we do not fund:

1. Pure research

2. Special events, sponsorships & conferences

3. National or provincial organizations without strong local roots

There are no right or wrong answers, but here are some things to keep in mind when completing your application:

1. Tell us how you are different

2. Support your budget - include details, provide sources, and mention other funders if applicable

3. Write clearly and directly

4. Outline not only the problem but what your thoughtful plan of action entails

5. Share your past learnings
