- Your organization/collective is based in Waterloo Region, and has been providing services and/or programming to people in Waterloo Region (Cambridge, Kitchener, Waterloo, Wellesley, Wilmot, Woolwich, North Dumfries)
- Due to the amount of funding available, only one application per organization will be considered, and partial funding may be granted.
-
Your organization is:
- A registered charity or qualified donee
- Partnering with one of those so they can provide them with a grant on your behalf. If you plan to partner with another organization to receive funding, they would be your organization or collective's “fiscal partner” for this grant.

They will give priority to funding organizations/collectives that value and embody the concept “nothing about us, without us” within your organizational structure and programming. (For example: how are the people you are seeking to serve or provide programming for included in decision making, delivery and/or measurement of your initiatives?)
