Letter of Intent

Page 1

The Foundation accepts funding requests related to career development and career counselling for young people (ages 12-30) in Canada from registered charities or nonprofits that are aligned with its mission. The Foundation sees its role as being an early stage or seed funder of initiatives (e.g., testing out a new model of service delivery/programming, expanding a program/project to a new community, piloting a new program/project, applying traditional knowledge in new ways). As part of our strategic plan, we’re prioritizing support for youth with an emphasis on newcomers, Indigenous communities, and rural and remote communities.
