What should my application include?

We know applying for grants can feel like a lengthy, and even intimidating, undertaking, so that’s why we’ve kept our application process simple. It starts with completing a short online form that’s only three questions! Our foundation’s model is all about providing support, so we’re offering a few tips for submitting a strong application.

• Keep your responses short and specific. Stick to the word-count limits.
• The more concrete you are about how you can use our financial support, the better.
• Know what you’re trying to achieve and tell us what your project’s goals and impact are. This shows how we can help you.
• Tell us what type of in-kind support you need. We provide advisory support to our recipient organizations and we want to work with groups that need more than money.
• Be ready for growth. We’re interested in working with organizations that are small and looking to grow.

When reviewing applications, our board uses specific criteria to select grant recipients.

We look for:

• new charities that have growth potential.
• community-based organizations committed to connecting people.
• not-for-profits that want to empower other leaders and change-makers.
• organizations aiming to produce specific and measurable impact.
• charities focused on making positive contributions to the planet or their community.
