Deadline: 30-Sep-20
The Winnipeg Foundation is inviting proposals for the One-Time Community Grants Program.
The Winnipeg Foundation is a project funder and does not provide on-going operating support. Grants are awarded for specific purposes and for projects covering a definite period of time. The Foundation does not guarantee annual support for any organization.
Types of Projects
This grant program supports time-limited community projects, including:
- Capital and renovations
- Conferences and events
- Equipment and infrastructure
- Program operating
- Reports and planning
- Capital campaigns
- Short-term operating support
- Organizational development and capacity building
Grant Policies
- Organizations must demonstrate a strong and committed board, fiscal responsibility, and effective management.
- Projects must primarily benefit the people of Winnipeg. For projects taking place outside of the City, applicants should demonstrate how the project will also benefit the people of Winnipeg.
- Pilot or demonstration projects must include provision for evaluation and a realistic plan for financial viability beyond the pilot stage.
- Organizations may apply for one Community Grant per calendar year. (Organizations that currently have an outstanding Multi-year or Resilient Community Grant are considered to have an application in the current calendar year and operate under the terms laid out in their Grant Agreement). A second application will be considered in the case of a declined application or a collaboration.
- Applying for a Community Grant does not preclude an organization from applying for special program grants in the same calendar year, but applications must be for different projects.
- Organizations must submit a satisfactory report on their previous Community Grant before submitting a new Community Grant application. Reports should be submitted at least 30 days in advance of the next application.
Eligibility Criteria
- Your organization must have a registered charitable number from the Canada Revenue Agency to apply for a Community Grant. (This number is required to access the online application form.)
- You may apply for a Community Grant once per calendar year. An exception will be made to accept a second application from an organization where it is collaborating with another community non-profit(s).
- An organization may not apply for any type of Community Grant if it has an outstanding Community Grant (One-Time or Resilient). You must submit your final report from your previous Community Grant before submitting a new Community Grant application.
- Applying for a Community Grant does not preclude you from applying for a Special Program Grant in the same calendar year, but it must be for a different project.
