Community Grants

Funding for a better future.

Explore how our grants can support your next big project to help create a more resilient and equitable world.

Who we support.

Non-profits of all sizes.

No matter how big or small, we support non-profits challenging the status quo to move towards a clean, fair world.

Businesses making a difference.

We support community focused projects led by businesses — particularly those that strengthen their sector, tackle shared challenges, or generate positive impact beyond a single organization.

Indigenous organizations and First Nations government.

We want to walk alongside resilient Indigenous communities by supporting outcomes and projects that enable economic Reconciliation.

Grants to level-up your next big project.

Through our Shared Success program, 30% of our net profits go back to members and communities. With funding for many of our grant programs coming from Shared Success, we’ve got a network of members cheering you on.
