How to Apply

Inquiries are accepted continuously, and funding decisions are made each year in the spring and fall.

Potential applicants are invited to email inquiries directly to Shannon Butler. This will allow your organization to introduce your work and determine whether your charity may be eligible to apply for a grant. Shannon can be reached by email at Shannon@butlerfamilyfoundation.ca. 

If you are eligible, we will invite you to prepare an online application which will outline:

  • The purpose of your organization
  • A description of the proposed activity, including a list of key participants and collaborators and an estimated budget and time frame.
  • The amount of funding requested.
  • The legal name and CRA Registration number.

We value measuring our impact in the community. For larger grants over $1000.00, we request follow-up and some basic reporting. The particulars will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
