The Review Process
In assessing requests for funding,
the Foundation considers the merits of a project,
weighing the needs identified and the potential of
the project to address those needs. It gives priority
to projects that accord closely with its funding
priorities. It also favours projects that are financially
sustainable over time, or projects that are potentially
replicable. The Foundation is more likely to fund
projects that have financial support from more than
one source.
Applicants are informed by mail
of the Foundation's decisions regarding their proposals
early in May or November.
Please be advised that funding requests
significantly outstrip the Foundation's resources;
as a result, many worthwhile projects cannot be funded.
Convinced that charity should be
discreet, the Foundation gives grants with the stipulation
that the funding source remains anonymous.
