Applying For Grants

Grant making is one of the key ways we support our community. We provide grants from a variety of funds throughout the year, each with their own guidelines and schedules.

Only registered charities (qualified donees) are eligible for grants from The Kitchener and Waterloo Community Foundation. Non-profit organizations that do not have a charitable registration number, but would like to apply for a grant, please click here. Your charitable registration number is a nine-digit number followed by RR0001.

Community Fund Grant Information

Our biggest grant making activities involve the Community Fund. The Community Fund pools donations into an unrestricted fund, allowing us to provide grants to a wide range of registered charitable organizations in our community. 
The Community Fund allows us to create opportunities to improve K-W and area and forge partnerships to tackle our region's most pressing issues. Our annual Waterloo Region's Vital Signs report provides us with a blueprint to invest - and take action.  
We accept grant applications for the Community Fund twice a year. All applications received are shared with our donors who often choose to partner with the Community Fund in awarding grants.

 Watch here for the Fall 2010 deadline!
