Communities Funding

Detailed Description

With this focus area, they seek to support organizations (non-profits, community groups, charities, and the like) who have community at the heart of their actions and purpose. As a national funder, their role is to offer their resources as a lever for communities working to address the root causes of inequity at a meaningful scale. As such, they are looking to help fund activities that fall in one of the two following categories: Collaborative action: creating spaces of collaboration for multiple organizations to come together to address barriers to social and/or economic inclusion in a bold way. They want organizations to reach together to accomplish audacious goals that they are less likely to achieve on their own. Policy change: advancing policies or policy changes that favour social justice, build economic resilience and address barriers. They will support policy change efforts at all stages: from advocacy to engagement, communication, consultation and priority setting.
