One Application per Deadline Policy

1.0 Rationale

The Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) limits the number of applications per organization per granting  deadline in order to: ensure competitive fairness, avoid dependency on OTF funding, ensure capacity to manage OTF funds, mitigate risk, and ensure equitable access for a broad range of applicants.

2.0 Policy

OTF accepts one application per organization per granting deadline from eligible applicants, including organizations serving as the lead in collaboratives, municipalities, and First Nations. 

Eligible organizations may hold more than one active grant at a time as a result of submitting successful applications to previous funding deadlines.

3.0 Definitions

Granting Deadline:  The published deadline (date and time) for submitting applications for grant funding to OTF.
