2027 Community Fund Applications – Are you a Registered Charity or a Qualified Donee?
Organizations that are not Registered Charities or Qualified Donees must apply in partnership with a Registered Charity or Qualified Donee who will act as the fiduciary agent for the project, meaning they will sign the funding agreement and manage the funding on behalf of the Non-Qualified Donee. The application must be filled out naming the Registered Charity or Qualified Donee as the Lead Applicant and the financial documentation requested for uploading will be the Lead Applicant’s.
