Leadership Grants for training programs in Non Profits

I am writing to invite you to participate in an exciting opportunity from our PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada Foundation! Through our Leadership Grants Program, our Foundation is once again offering grants to support the leadership development of existing and emerging leaders at charities across Canada.

New this year, there are two streams of Leadership Grants:  

• Leadership Grants for Individuals - providing individual leaders working and/or volunteering with Canadian charities with grants of up to $2,500 each
• Leadership Grants for Teams - providing leadership teams working and/or volunteering with Canadian charities with grants of up to $5,000 each

Both volunteers and staff working in small- to medium-sized registered Canadian charities are eligible. Priority will be given to charities with annual budgets under $1 million.

I am inviting you, a colleague, or a team from your charity to apply because I believe your organization is making a difference in our community and could benefit from this opportunity. This grant is specifically for charities focused on our core Foundation areas: the Environment, Children and Youth, Poverty, and Education.

Grants can be applied to anything from formal courses, conferences or training programs to informal learning experiences of the applicant's own design. Our objective is to support a development opportunity that best allows you, a colleague, or a team from your charity, to advance the goals of your organization.

If you would like to receive an application to apply, please email Andrea Dicks or call 416 814 5831.

Grant applications must be submitted online by Friday, November 14, 2008. Late submissions will not be accepted. Faxed or emailed applications will also not be considered.
