The Winnipeg Foundation is pleased to announce a funding call for the Nourishing Potential Grants to support charitable organizations that provide nutritious food for children and youth.
Nourishing Potential Grants will be made to charitable organizations that operate after-school programs, drop-in centres, community centres, family resource centres, and early childhood education centres. School divisions and individual schools are not eligible for this grant program.
Funding Information
The maximum grant request for this program is $10,000 and may include: food purchases, equipment (up to $3,000), and nutrition education and training (up to $1,000).
Guidelines
- Priority will be given to enhancing existing nutrition projects.
- Food purchases must follow the Canada Food Guide and be respectful of individual and community diversity.
- Preference will be given to projects that include a learning opportunity for children and youth about healthy foods.

Eligibility Criteria
- Your organization must have a registered charitable number from Canada Revenue Agency to apply for a Nourishing Potential Grant. (This number is required to access the online application form.)
- You may apply for one Nourishing Potential Grant per calendar year. Organizations may apply for a Community Grant, or any special program grant, in the same year, but applications must be for different projects.
