This grant program provides funding to charitable and faith-based organizations whose work enhances community well-being through education, health, spirituality, social services, and environmental care. Funding is designed to assist projects that respond to community needs, foster resilience, and promote values that strengthen individuals, families, and communities.
Eligibility is limited to registered nonprofit and faith-based organizations. Funding is not available to individuals, for-profit businesses, political causes, or projects that have already taken place. Organizations that rely solely on government resources, or that seek to cover deficits or ongoing operational shortfalls, are generally not considered. The grants are intended to support innovative programs, new initiatives, or enhancements to existing services that align with the stated priorities.
Most awards range up to $10,000, though in some cases larger requests may be considered when the scope and impact of the initiative are demonstrated. Proposals should outline measurable objectives, community benefit, and long-term sustainability. The program emphasizes accountability, requiring recipients to submit a report detailing outcomes and lessons learned within six months of completing their project.
Applications are typically reviewed twice each year, with deadlines in the spring and fall. Decisions are based on alignment with priorities, feasibility of the proposal, and the potential to produce lasting impact. Funding is available primarily within one Canadian province, though a portion of the overall budget is set aside for organizations in other regions of the country.
The grant offers not only financial resources but also recognition for organizations that demonstrate leadership, inclusivity, innovation, and faith-based values in addressing local needs. By supporting initiatives that empower communities and advance shared values, the program seeks to make a meaningful difference across eligible regions.
