Kiwanis Environmental Project Grant
Kiwanis Foundation of Canada grants help Canadian Kiwanis clubs to support and take ownership of projects in their community. This grant focusses on environmental oriented programs in Canada.
Eligibility and requirements
The Kiwanis Club applying for the grant must have donated to the Foundation in the current year, a minimum of $15 per member, as with other grant eligibility.- Priority will be given to Kiwanis led environmental projects involving young people, with significant hands-on participation/financial involvement.
- Clubs are eligible for only one Environmental grant per year but can apply every year.
- These grants will fund projects that start from the time of approval (June), with a final completion being the end of the following Kiwanis year. e.g. approvals in June 2025 would cover projects starting from June 2025 and good through the Oct 2025-Sept 2026 Kiwanis year.
An Application must Include:
- A descriptive overview of the project:
- Including project approach and timeline
- Degree of Kiwanis club participation and partnerships
- The anticipated need and impact of youth and the community.
- Total anticipated project costs:
- We encourage applications for both small- and large- scale projects.
- This is a matching grant, where the Foundation will match the funds spent by the applicants approved, up to a maximum of $3,000.
Adjudication:
Applications must be received not later than May 31st each year, through the email address grants@kfcdn.org . There is a yearly total of $15,000 available for this grant. Not all applicants may receive a grant or the full amount they requested.- A committee will review all applications and determine which they will fund and the amount they will fund. This will be followed by a response to all applicants.
- Once the club has spent their portion of the match, they can submit proof of expenditures and a request for the Foundation match, not to exceed the amount approved. Submit this to grants@kfcdn.org .
A post project report must be submitted to the Foundation, outlining the impact and results prior to the end of the following Kiwanis year, as noted in the requirement description above. This would include, photos, a summary of impact and financial/physical commitment from the club. The Foundation reserves the right to print and publish those results.
