Grants

At the Victoria Foundation, there are many ways that we leverage funding to grant into the community:

• Strategic Initiative Grants

  These are the funding calls that charitable organizations can apply to for funding. They encompass the Foundation’s annual Community Granting Program (adapted to the Community Recovery Program during the pandemic) and any special granting programs that the Foundation may run in partnership with other funders such as government, United Way, or Community Foundations of Canada.

• Hosted Organization Grants

  Established by charitable organizations, Hosted Organization Funds provide an annual source of revenue to be used at a charity’s discretion. Set up your Hosted Organization Fund today.

• Donor Designated Grants

  Designated Funds established by donors support specific named charities each year. These are not funds that charitable organizations can apply to, but many donors work closely with Foundation staff to learn about how to get more involved with the causes they love.

• Donor Advised Grants

  Donors work with Foundation staff to recommend which charitable programs, projects, and organizations receive their granting support each year.

• First Nations

  These are grants to First Nations communities drawn from funds hosted by the Foundation.
