Deadline: 15-May-22
The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation (SSCF) grants are open for applications to support charitable activities that promote and enhance vibrant, healthy and caring communities in south Saskatchewan.
The purpose of the South Saskatchewan Vital Community Fund is to allow the SSCF to respond to areas of focus identified in its current Vital Sign.
The Vital Signs research identifies Belonging as the top community indicator, and six emerging issues:
- Sustaining rural communities;
- Drug abuse and addiction;
- Safety in communities;
- Racism towards new immigrants and Indigenous peoples
- Homelessness and affordable housing; and
- Mental health.
Funding Information
A grant up to a maximum of $5000 may be awarded to successful applicants.
Eligibility Criteria
- SCF can only grant to registered charities or qualified donees, and a Department of National Revenue Taxation Charity Registration number is an eligibility requirement. If not registered, a formal partner with charitable status is required and a formal agreement with the partner included as part of a complete application.
- SSCF funds are intended to benefit communities in south Saskatchewan, as per SSCF’s definition.
