Canadian Christian charities are invited to apply for grant funding to support projects that will specifically and measurably grow their organizational strength.
Stronger Together 2010 is a collaborative granting initiative of eight Canadian faith-based funders. We value the work that Christian-inspired charities accomplish in Canada and around the world, and have gathered together to ensure these organizations are able to successfully weather current economic challenges and emerge stronger in years to come.
Together, we have committed to grant up to $1 million in 2010 towards helping these charities build their organizational strength through projects that address specific needs and achieve defined outcomes.
Successful applicants will design short-term projects which invest into the charity’s capacity and will demonstrate how their organization’s effectiveness is able to be enhanced through the grant.
The synergies created through funders working together allow us to offer to eligible charities the first web-based application system for grants which will be simultaneously considered by eight granting partners located in cities across Canada. This initiative will save charities money, time, and energy. It will also broaden a charity’s audience, introducing potential donors and innovative charities to each other.
Eligible charities are invited to submit applications beginning January 2, 2010, and will be accepted until midnight EST, February 28, 2010. Following a thoughtful process of due diligence, granting decisions will be made in the late spring, with announcements of successful applicants on June 15, 2010.
We encourage all Canadian charities to think strategically about what it will take to grow their organizational strength and to apply to Stronger Together 2010. We look forward to working and growing together with you in this process.
