Initial approach should be made by letter, no more than three pages, outlining the following:

• Organization’s general objectives, names of directors and officers must be supplied

• Description of project, description of its expected outcomes supported by budget showing sources of funds and anticipated expenses

• Registration number as a "registered charity".

An annual report, if available, is useful information. At a minimum, the Foundation requests a copy of most recent financial statements.

The Foundation will review the initial proposal and may request additional information. The Foundation will respond to this letter either positively or negatively. As a large number of applications are received annually, the foregoing process may take several months. Requests for funds should therefore be made at least 6 months in advance of the need for cash.

Inquiries or proposals sent by facsimile, form letters, or multiple solicitations are neither accepted nor acknowledged.
