The amount of funding will be awarded based on the budgeted actual costs of the project or program. Applicants proposing programs or projects with a local or provincial scope may be awarded funding up to a maximum of $10,000. Applicants proposing programs or projects with a national scope may be awarded funding up to a maximum of $25,000.
To receive funding, the selected organizations must meet criteria prior to the implementation of their program. The program must be completed by December 2012.
Only online applications will be accepted. Successful applicants will be notified in early 2011.
