Grant Program Basics

What We Fund

Our Grant Programs provide funding in four priority areas. We empower initiatives that are building a more prosperous and sustainable future, both in Canada and around the world.

Priority Areas

  • Children, Youth & Families
  • Climate Change
  • International Development
  • Indigenous Youth

Turning Ideas into Impact

We respect every organization’s singularity and aim to offer a range of grant types to meet their different needs.

Each year we award several single year grants, and we’re also proud to have longer-term partnerships with a number of organizations.

All of our partners are achieving important work. We’re so humbled to play a part in their impact.
