The Winnipeg Foundation is seeking applications for its Literacy for Life Grants to support family literacy programs in community centers and libraries across the province.
Family literacy programs include children and parents/caregivers participating together in activities that emphasize intergenerational learning.
Funding Information
- Grants of up to $4,000 are available to charitable organizations across Manitoba for family literacy programming.
Grant Policies
- Only Manitoba-based registered charities (including Winnipeg Public Library) are eligible for grants from The Winnipeg Foundation’s Literacy for Life Fund.
- Organizations may apply for a Literacy for Life grant once per calendar year. Grant recipients must submit a final report, including an account of expenses, before applying for future Literacy for Life grants.
- Applying for a Literacy for Life Grant does not preclude an organization from applying for a Community Grant (One-Time or Resilient Community) or other Special Program grant in the same calendar year, but it must be for a different project.
- Program delivery staff and volunteers working with children must go through child abuse and criminal record checks appropriate to their role in the program.
Eligibility Criteria
- Your organization must have a registered charitable number from Canada Revenue Agency to apply for a Literacy for Life Grant. (This number is required to access the online application form.) Note: First Nations Communities in Manitoba are eligible to apply to Literacy for Life.
- Winnipeg organizations may apply for a Community Grant in the same year, but the applications must be for different projects.
- You may apply for one Literacy for Life 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.
