Collaboration Grant Stream
Program overview
Please note that the Victoria Foundation will not be hosting an open grant call for the Collaboration Grant Stream during the fall of 2025. We are currently exploring new ways to support the essential and impactful collaborative work taking place in our community. Please stay tuned for updates.
Capacity for collaboration starts inside organizations. By shifting mindsets and internal practices, organizations build the foundation to work more effectively together. And when organizations work together towards shared goals, they can have far greater impact than when working alone.
As organizations begin to take collective action, they affect changes to systems and address the status quo in ways that transform places and peoples’ lives. This shift leads to greater impact on some of the community’s most pressing issues.
The purpose of the Collaboration Grant Stream is to strengthen the non-profit sector’s collaboration muscles. The program prioritizes collaboratives of 3 or more organizations that are based and operating within the capital region, are led by or serve equity-deserving groups and demonstrate strong financial need. It funds collaborative projects, initiatives and ‘backbone’ operations for groups that are working across a range of cause areas. This includes the environment, racial equity, food security, housing, health, homelessness, gender equality, the arts, sports and recreation and more!
