Vision

Catalysts for pilgrimage together

Values guiding our philanthropy

  • Cultivating the imagination
  • Journeying together as pilgrims
  • Honouring both process and outcome
  • A rooted yet evolving Christian faith

 Size of Grants

 Eligibility

  • Beneficiaries must be registered Canadian charities.
  • Past grant recipients are eligible for new funding when the outcomes of their previous project have been completed.

 Reporting

  • All charities receiving grants from Redleaf Foundation will be encouraged to report back on progress made every six months until completion for the outcomes they propose.

Granting Process

  • If your charity believes it has an opportunity that would interest Redleaf Foundation, complete the Charity Survey well in advance of the granting dates listed in the timetable below.
  • Stronger Philanthropy will conduct a face-to-face interview for organizations that are most closely aligned to Redleaf Foundation’s priorities.
  • Shortlisted organizations will receive an emailed invitation to apply for a grant.
  • Instructions for completing the application will be contained in the emailed invitation.
  • Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
