Vancouver Foundation is pleased to announce the dates for our upcoming Field of Interest Grants cycle. We've listened to your feedback since launching the redesigned program, and have made a number of changes we want you to know about. 

 

In addition, there is a restricted focus to the funding available in Health and Social Development this cycle - see below for details.

 

Our next grant cycle will begin in fall 2015 and complete in spring 2016.

 

Each field of interest has its own unique deadline - so please check the key dates section of our website to make sure you don't miss your opportunity to submit an application.

 

The first field to open for new applications is Environment and Animal Welfare on September 28, followed by Health and Social Development on October 13, Education and Training on December 21, and Arts and Culture on January 11 (2016).

 

In addition, revisions to our general funding guidelines, and field of interestguidelines have just been published, so make sure you download a copy of the latest version.

Health and Social Development funding in this grant cycle is exclusively available for two at-risk populations, and for projects using a participatory action research approach

 

Due to the restricted intentions defined in some of our endowment funds, the upcoming grant cycle will focus exclusively on social innovations that address the systemic challenges affecting:

  • Children who are living with physical and/or mental disabilities, are in poverty or are otherwise underprivileged, or who are suffering from abuse, injury, illness or emotional disturbance.
     

·       Persons living with disabilities, illness and disease (especially mental health, arthritis, blindness, deafness, heart disease or cancer). 

There is also additional funding available for health research projects that use a community-based participatory action research approach to support projects with broader health and social development objectives.

Helping you choose between grant types

 

We've made a number of improvements to our website, including more information to help you choose between grant types when submitting your application.

 

We now describe how advanced we expect a project team to be for each type of grant, and give specific examples to illustrate what applicants should know about their project before they apply.

 

Read more about our types of grants, and find out which one is the best fit for your project.
