Deadline: 15-Apr-22
The Johansen Larsen Foundation’s (JLF) 2022 Grant Program is now open to enhance the lives of those marginalized in the communities, through supporting inclusive initiatives that foster learning and well-being.
The Johansen Larsen Foundation is a grantmaking organization. They give grants to registered non-profits and charities that offer programming to enrich the lives of those marginalized in the communities (both human and animal). They emphasize the importance of initiatives that offer transformative learning opportunities, which are both accessible and inclusive.
Focus Areas
The JL Foundation has 2 overlapping focus areas:
- One Health: The idea of One Health refers to the interdependence between the health of people, animals and entire ecosystems. The JLF is committed to highlight the interdependence between the human and animal world.
- Marginalized Children and Youth: The JLF is committed to providing opportunities for growth and learning otherwise denied to children and youth who are marginalized in Canadian society.
Funding Information
The Johansen Larsen Foundation provides single year grants (up to $15,000), multi-year grants (up to $7,500/year for 3 years) and emergency grants (up to $3,000).
Eligibility Criteria
- By law, they are required to disburse funding to applicants who have a current qualified registered charitable (BIN) number. However, based on the commitment to Reconciliation, they have decided to provide opportunities for Indigenous-led non-profits that fulfil all of the other eligibility criteria to apply for funding. The grant management system will provide an opportunity for Indigenous-led non-profits to submit a letter attesting that they are Indigenous led so that they can submit a full application for funding.
- Charitable organizations with total revenue below $2 million.
- Programs that operate in Canada.
- Programs that target marginalized children/youth, Indigenous peoples and/or animals at risk.
- JLF fund programs offered by registered Canadian charities offered anywhere in Canada. While they are based in Ontario, they would like to extend the funding to areas outside of those regions, especially to regions that are chronically under-funded (e.g. Canada’s north).
