Call for Beneficiaries 2022 in Canada

Deadline: 31-Dec-21

The Pride and Remembrance Association has launched call for beneficiaries 2022 to encourage physical fitness and athleticism in the context of the Pride celebrations; and to raise funds for charitable organizations whose aims and activities benefit the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Project Funding

Applicants should seek to ensure that their project funding proposals align with the following selection guidelines and funding principles.

• Where possible, the PRA prefers to fund (ideally, on an exclusive basis) stand-alone projects for which funding from other sources may not be readily available.
• Projects should ideally reflect the general themes of Pride and/or Remembrance, and should focus in one or more of the following areas:
  • Youth
  • Education and Awareness
  • Health
  • Arts and Culture
• The PRA will not fund staff salaries, except on a time-limited basis and tied specifically to the Project proposal. The PRA will generally not fund operating costs of the Applicant.
• Although the merits of each Project will be the prime consideration of the PRA in its selection of beneficiaries, the marketability of a given Project to the PRA’s constituents (its current and potential event sponsors and to Run participant’s) will influence the beneficiary selection decision.
• In selecting a successful project and Applicant, the PRA Board may consider the following:
  • Who will benefit from the Project, and how?
  • Is there a pressing, immediate need for the Project?
  • Is there a long-term benefit to the Project?
  • Does the Project relate to the 2SLGBTQ+ community? Would it have broad appeal?
  • Would the Project appeal to Event participants for fundraising purposes?
  • Is the Applicant able to provide adequate volunteer and/or promotional support to the PRA and the Run?

Eligibility Criteria

In order to qualify as a beneficiary, an applicant must:

• Be an incorporated charitable organization registered and in good standing with the Canada Revenue Agency;
• Provide services or conduct activities that benefit the 2SLGBTQ+ community. These activities might include, among other things, the provision of services of a medical, educational, legal, social, athletic or cultural nature; and
• Participate fully in this application process.
