Calling emerging changemakers: applications for 2027 are now open

Our grant portal is open for early‑stage Canadian charities seeking support in 2027, and we’re excited to meet the next wave of organizations driving social or environmental change.

We look for charities that are:

• Emerging, with clear potential for growth
• Rooted in community engagement
• Focused on developing future changemakers
• Driven by tangible, measurable outcomes
• Committed to improving their communities or the environment

The selected organization receives a $3,000 grant and one‑on‑one advisory support tailored to its goals and growth stage.

Our recipients consistently tell us that the blend of funding and mentorship is what makes our support so transformative. Two of our 2024 grant recipients shared:

“As a small organization, gaining access to high‑level HR workshops and governance expertise—especially through one‑on‑one mentorship—significantly strengthened our HR capacity, leadership confidence, and overall organizational maturity.”
— Michelle Reining, Executive Director, Vancouver Food Runners

“The true value of the relationship lies in the quarterly mentorship and group webinar sessions—far beyond the monetary support.”
— Scott Wiseman, Executive Director, Volunteer Success

If you are, or know of, an emerging Canadian charity seeking support in 2027, we encourage you to apply by June 30.

We can’t wait to meet the changemakers who will join us next year.
