Deadline: 14-Jun-24
The Sarnia Community Foundation is inviting applications for the Community Impact Grants.
Preference is given to innovative ideas and initiatives which:
- Encourage networking and collaboration among organizations
- Demonstrate innovative or interdisciplinary approaches
- Reflect diversity and inclusivity
- Work towards meeting one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
- Emphasize prevention rather than remediation
Eligibility Criteria
- To be eligible to receive a grant, organizations must:
- Be a qualified donee as determined by the Canada Revenue Agency. Generally, that means your organization is a charitable organization, amateur athletic association or municipality registered with the Government of Canada.
- Be in operation at least one full year prior to application.
- Provide services that directly benefit the citizens of Lambton County
- Receive volunteer support from the community
- Submit all the requested information with the application
- Note for Not-for-Profits: Not-for-profits that are not registered charities can apply for grants if they are working with a qualified donee that will act as an intermediary. SCF must receive a copy of the board resolution defining and accepting the intermediary relationship with the application. The relationship must be in existence prior to the application being filed and there must be a clear and logical working relationship between the two organizations. If the application is successful, the Foundation issues the grant cheque to the qualified donee which, in turn, agrees to provide funding for the not-for-profit organization for a specific task or program supervised by the intermediary.
Ineligible
