We’re pleased to share news about a resource for accessing current grant opportunities, which is available free for use by all social purpose organizations in Canada.
Our friends at Humanity Financial Management Inc. have spearheaded the project.
The most sought-after type of funding for most Canadian charities and non-profits is unrestricted funding, and grants to support core operations and administration, plus capacity building in areas like finance, impact evaluation, communications, and employment and training.
For the first time, these opportunities are centralized in one place.
The data is updated monthly, so check back often.
The Capacity Building GrantScan focuses not on project and program funding, but on the precious resources needed to connect these offerings, and strengthen organizations. The focus is on unleashing fund opportunities in these key areas:
- Impact
- Operations
- Governance
- Technology
- Fundraising and Fund Development
- Capacity Development
- Economic Development
- Ecosystem Development
- Professional Services
- Growing Indigenous Communities
The latest GrantScan can be accessed by clicking here.
Be sure to review the READ ME tab in the GrantScan, to make best use of the tool.
The list includes over 100 available funding programs, and allows charities, non-profits, and other community-based groups to engage with the resource according to their own funding needs.
Special sections of the GrantScan list unrestricted funding opportunities, those designed for Indigenous applicants, plus pathways to access single grants of over $100,000. Social enterprise is also a search field.
For those who lack grant writing capacity in-house, and need assistance, Humanity Financial can help your group to access the grant opportunities. Feel free to contact their office for fee-based assistance, or to provide them with feedback on the GrantScan tool. Please share this resource far and wide!
