Small Capital Grants: Simplified Application Process
Toronto, August 15, 2006 – Community organizations seeking small capital grants from our Foundation will now find it easier to apply. Thanks to the Simplified Application Process for Small Capital Grants, applicants seeking up to a maximum of $15,000 in capital funding can use a shorter application form with fewer required attachments.
This new process is good news for not-for-profit and charitable organizations across Ontario. They value our capital granting and asked for a simpler process when applying for smaller requests.
Eligible organizations, large and small, that apply under either the Foundation’s Community or Province-Wide program can use this process. Applications for other types of grants and for capital funds greater than $15,000, must be made using our current standard application form.
The Foundation has played a valuable role in providing capital funding to eligible not-for-profit organizations in Ontario. We have invested over $132 million in capital grants since 1999. Many of these grants were used for repairs, renovations or improvements to land or buildings, to purchase equipment to support program activities and to make buildings accessible.

Application deadlines are March 1, July 1 and November 1. To be considered in each grant cycle, complete applications must be received no later than 5 p.m. on the deadline date.
