Summary
Offers a set of grant programs aimed at nonprofit & charitable organizations. Eligible applicants must be registered charities under Canada’s tax law, or non‑profits partnered with a registered charity. Projects must serve local residents, be non‑discriminatory, and show sound financial and management practices.
One of the main grant streams allows funding requests of up to CAD $5,000 per application. These grants may support program costs, operational support, or small capital projects. Applicants need to show alignment with certain community wellbeing frameworks.
There is also a fund focused on clean water and water access which supports work in specific provinces including Ontario. That grant allows bigger funding requests (up to CAD $40,000), for operations, programming, research, or capital‐type projects.
Another stream targets the arts: small to moderate grants for arts projects, creative expression, performance, visual and literary arts in the region. In that arts stream, applicants may include organizations or collectives (if partnered with a registered charity) and are expected to show community building, cultural engagement, and possibly partnerships. These arts grants typically have a smaller cap (around CAD $5,000) for many types of projects.
In recent cycles, the foundation has distributed over CAD $100,000 in total through its fall community grants / local nonprofit programs to multiple organizations (dozens of recipients).
If you are located in British Columbia and working in the area of Children & Childcare, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
