The Canada Post Community Foundation is seeking applications for its grant program.
The Community Foundation awards grants to Canadian schools, charities and community organizations that make a difference in the lives of children and youth, up to the age of 21.
Since 2013, the Foundation has granted over $9.8 million to 900 projects across Canada. Grants are available for projects that support health, education and community.
Types of Grants
- Community-based support projects: Eligible projects increase the capacity of an organization. Such projects create or expand services rather than maintaining existing services, for example purchasing new equipment or launching new programs. Project grants can total up to $25,000 each.
- Signature Grant: This grant contributes to the overall work and mission of national organizations that deliver programs or support to children and youth. Up to 3 Signature Grants of $50,000 each can be awarded each year.
The following projects do not qualify for any of the Foundation grants.
- professional or amateur sports teams
- activities outside Canada
- debt reduction campaigns
- lobby, advocacy or partisan groups that promote a particular social, political or economic point of view
- fundraising events or initiatives, such as golf tournaments, galas, runs or races
- brand or general advertising
- financial assistance for individuals
- trade shows
- organizations, political parties or other programs that require, as a condition for receiving support or services, an adherence to, or promotion of a particular religious faith, political affiliation or cultural group
- conventions, conferences or events
- ongoing operating costs, such as administrative costs not directly linked to delivery of front-line programs (Signature Grants are exempted from this clause)
- pure academic or basic research
- salaries and administrative costs for school employees
- school trips
