Brant Community Foundation Grants
Brant Community Foundation Grants
Building a better community through the Brant Community Foundation Grant Program
- Address root causes;
- Fill a gap or meet a need in the community;
- Support capacity building to strengthen the organization and help them fulfill their mission;
- Promote collaboration and sharing among agencies to reduce duplication of services.
In assessing requests, the Foundation looks at organizations that show fiscal responsibility, have a committed volunteer board, represent the community they service and have the capacity to carry out the work. Applicants must demonstrate how their initiative will benefit the community and how the project will be funded beyond the grant from the Brant Community Foundation.
Grants from the Brant Community Foundation must be made to registered charities (qualified donees) or organizations sponsored by a qualified donee as stipulated by Canada Revenue Agency. Qualified donees are organizations that can issue official donation receipts for gifts that individuals and corporations make to them. The applicant organization’s Board of Directors must be based in the City of Brantford, the County of Brant, Six Nations of the Grand River and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
