Our funding guidelines
Given that we receive an increasing number of requests for donations and sponsorships each year, we have to make sound and at times difficult choices that take into consideration our budget and our selection criteria.
In view of our area of focus and our selection criteria, we do not fund, for example, the following:
- More than one contribution to the same organization during a fiscal year (January 1 to December 31)
- Foreign and non-Canadian organizations
- Sporting or recreational events (amateur or professional)
- Animal welfare groups
- Individuals
- Charitable organizations that are not registered
- Political or religious organizations or advocacy groups
- Educational institutions, with the exception of universities
