Supporting the work of reconciliation for all people.
Saskatoon Community Foundation created the Community Fund for Reconciliation through funds raised at the Nutrien Saskatoon Community Foundation Cultural Gala series that spanned 2017 to 2022. Funds raised were disbursed from 2018 to 2023 for community partnerships answering one of the TRC calls to action.
Applying for Funding in 2024?
Reconciliation continues to be an important commitment for Saskatoon Community Foundation. Applications for projects focused on reconciliation may now apply for Quality of Life Grants. Quality of Life Grants focus areas are belonging, inclusion, and reconciliation.
Projects serving youth may apply for Youth Endowment Saskatoon Grants. Multi-year projects focused on homelessness, mental health, or equity, may apply for Vital Focus Grants.
Find the right grant opportunity for your organization. Use our interactive, self-serve Where to Apply tool to check if your project focus areas are eligible for funding.
