Deadline: 7-May-21
The Rozsa Foundation has launched the Transformation Grants Program to support an organization through the expansion of an idea, including further prototyping and scaling up of the work accomplished in the experimentation phase.
Funding Available
- Support through this grant stream can possibly exceed that available through the Rozsa Foundation’s other grant streams, as well as potentially providing multi-year support for the transformational initiative.
- An appropriate request will be determined in conjunction with a conversation about the application with Rozsa Foundation staff.
Ineligible Expenses
- The Foundation does not fund ongoing administrative salaries (except under the IBPOC Residency stream), ongoing administrative costs, deficit financing, debt repayment or capital campaigns.
- Normal programming activities are not eligible, but new programs or significant expansions are eligible if they can advance the organization in a meaningful way, and it is their understanding that new activities may require additional administrative capacity, which is an eligible expense.
- They do not provide operating or undesignated funding, nor do they fund retroactively. If you are incurring costs before their assessment meeting, the expenses may be ineligible.
Additional Points
- Organizations seeking to apply for a Rozsa Foundation Transformation Grant must begin by having a conversation with the Rozsa Foundation, in order to discuss what experimentation has already taken place, where the next phase of the work might go and where the transformational impact lies.
- An organization’s ability to pass on their learning on to the broader community is also a key component to the Transformation Grants.
Eligibility Criteria
The following requirements apply to all Rozsa Foundation granting streams:
- You must be a charity with a valid CRA charitable business number (9 digits, 2 letters, 4 digits).
- You must be an arts-focused organization or be applying for support in engaging the arts to further your mission.
- The focus of the investment is in Calgary and the surrounding area (including Rocky View County, MD Foothills, Banff, Canmore, Drumheller, and Rosebud) as well as to provincial organizations whose initiatives will directly benefit the Calgary arts sector. Action Learning Projects are eligible regardless of where in Alberta the organization is based.
- Organizations located outside of these areas may still be eligible but should contact them prior to beginning the application.
