Coaching calls for Sector grants
The Sector grant stream aims to strengthen the capacity and resilience of Ontario’s non-profit sector by supporting projects that respond to shared needs and emerging opportunities across the sector.
Grants are available for non-profit organizations with a demonstrated mandate, presence, and established reputation for supporting Ontario’s non-profit sector.
Before booking a coaching call, review the eligibility requirements outlined on the Sector grant page. Prior to booking, you will be asked a set of questions aligned with these requirements to help you determine whether your organization meets the eligibility requirements.
Coaching calls for the Youth Opportunities Fund grants
The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) supports grassroots projects led by youth and families who share the same identities and experiences as the people who will benefit from the project. YOF prioritizes grassroots groups that are looking to address the experiences of Indigenous (First Nation, Metis or Inuit) and/or Black youth who continue to face systemic barriers and oppression.
