Giving Fund

STEP 1:

Before you begin, please review our Focus Areas and Eligibility requirements.

STEP 2:

Our giving is local and specific to each of our communities.  We do recommend making a local connection with our employee advisory committee members in your area.  If you are unsure whether your organization qualifies, please refer to the Where We Give section. 

If your organization serves an area in which we operate, and you would like a local contact name and email address, please contact the Giving Fund directly.

STEP 3:

Gather the following information essential to completing the application:

1. The organization’s Tax ID or Canada Revenue Agency Number
2. Contact information
3. Detailed information about the organization
4. Detailed information about the request you're asking us to fund
5. Financial information related to the organization and the project you are asking us to fund
6. If your organization is based in the United States, download and complete an updated W-9 from the IRS Website.

GRANT APPLICATIONS: HOW TO APPLY

Get Started

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• When is the application deadline?
  Applications are processed throughout the year — but may be submitted at any time during our cycle year. For 2025, the deadline is September 30. Applications must be completed through our online portal, and submitted with all required attachments. We do not accept paper applications or proposals.
   
• What is the application review process? 
  Applications are generally reviewed on an ongoing basis, throughout the year.
   
• What grant amount can I expect? 
  Grants vary in scale in relationship to our presence in the community and the philanthropic budget available for the year. The minimum grant awarded is $1,000.
   
• When will I be notified? 
  The majority of our communications with you will be through the application portal. We generally communicate our funding decision after we receive a recommendation to fund your request from your local Advisory Committee (not when you submit your grant application). Many of our committees wait until after the deadline has passed to prioritize and finalize their grant recommendations, which means you might not hear from us until winter after the September deadline.
   
• My application was rejected. Why can't you fund my project/organization?
  We regret we cannot fund all the applications we receive.
   
• I'm having trouble/need help. Who can I contact?
