The Bickle-Wilder Foundation Grant Proposal Form
Application Process
Funding Interests: We support education, health-care, and youth-at-risk
Granting Region: Toronto and Montreal
Deadlines for Submission: We meet twice a year and the deadlines for submission are: March 31 and September 30.
Types of Support
We grant to Canadian registered charities.
Our grants typically go to schools, universities and hospital foundations and to youth-at-risk programs.
Support for schools, university and hospital foundations is mostly in response to capital campaigns.
Support for youth-at-risk is often given to social service charities, which offer programs (mentoring, tutoring, shelter, addiction support, after-school recreation). Many are member agencies of the United Way.
We also strive to be active grantors meeting critical needs of the day. During the covid pandemic, we pivoted to food banks and continue to support them.
Funding Restrictions
Grants will not be made to individuals for research projects, conferences and seminars; deficit financing, emergency funds; or to individuals for awards, fellowships, scholarships; while we support mental health and addiction issues for youth, we do not support many health disorders.
Criteria
When considering applications, the foundation looks at strong-trusted leadership with a track record of results.
All charity applications, must include the full financial statements. For charities with more than $250,000 in revenues, these financial statements must be audited as per the CRA Charity Directorate’s guidance.
