International Development
About the Program
The International Development grant program aims to create healthier, more equitable futures by addressing the needs of women and girls. We partner with organizations that are deeply connected to their communities and committed to sustainable, measurable impact. By centring equity, amplifying local leadership, and fostering resilience, this program seeks to break cycles of poverty and open opportunities for generations to come.

Important Information for Prospective Partners
At this time, we’re not accepting new applications for international development grants. Over recent months, we’ve been listening deeply to our partners, learning from others in the field, and refining how our resources can drive outcomes more effectively.
We are shifting toward a more focused, relationship-based approach—one where clarity, trust, and long-term impact guide our decisions. During this transition, we remain fully committed to supporting our current partners and honouring our shared purpose: helping every child and family thrive.
