Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $150,001
Summary
This grant initiative offers substantial support—ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 per project—to help Canadian charities and non-profits working directly with youth. Focused on improving access to equitable learning, it supports organizations that serve young people who are disconnected from traditional education or career pathways. A specialized funding stream provides grants up to $100,000 (sometimes higher in earlier cycles) for projects aimed at newcomer, refugee, or NEET (not in education, employment, or training) youth.
The program is open to registered Canadian charities and incorporated non-profits from all provinces and territories. Preference is often given to smaller organizations, particularly those with annual budgets under $1 million, when addressing newcomer or refugee youth needs. Each funded project is expected to be completed within one to two years from the grant’s commencement, depending on the funding stream.
Funds are intended to help organizations build capacity, scale proven programs, evaluate impact, and develop community-driven solutions that remove barriers to learning. Examples include academic support programs, skill-building initiatives, mentorship, experiential learning, and culturally responsive educational offerings. Recipients benefit not only from funding but also from access to a national learning community and resources for measuring and sharing outcomes.
Since its launch, the initiative has disbursed millions in grants to dozens of organizations, benefiting tens of thousands of youth across Canada. The intent is to foster sustainable, community-based educational solutions by investing in grassroots groups that understand local challenges and opportunities.
In short, this grant is ideal for charitable organizations across Canada looking to enhance or expand youth learning access, especially for underserved populations. It represents a meaningful opportunity to build systemic change through targeted, well-supported, and community-rooted programming.
