Granting Information Session

The Kenora and Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation is restricted by the

Income Tax Act to make grants only to organizations that are Registered Charities (RC).

Non – profit organizations (NPO) who do not have a charitable registration number can only

apply through a RC with which they have a formalized partnership (through a written

agreement), a history of collaboration, and a similar mission and vision.

Written Agreement

Between a Registered Charity and a Non-Profit OrganizationSlide13

Grant Application Guidelines and Process

Please review the following guidelines before submitting a grant application

To the Kenora and Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation:

Only registered charities are eligible for grants from the Kenora and Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation. ( Non- profit organizations that do not have a charitable registration number, but would like to apply for a grant, please refer to

“Confirmation of a Written Agreement between a Registered Charity and a Non profit Organization). Your charitable registration number is a nine-digit number followed by RR 00001.

Please note:

Applicants should be aware that meeting the eligibility criteria allows them to apply to the Community Foundation. It does not, however, guarantee that they will receive a grant. If your organization does not receive a grant, it may not be a reflection of the merit of the project, but on the funds available at the Foundation for the current year.
