Who can apply

Services that align with the Foundation's mission:
• Supporting individuals with physical or mental challenges
• Promoting healthy lifestyles, wellness, or community well-being

What we look for
The proposed initiative should improve quality of life, accessibility, health, or community well-being, with a clear community benefit and a well-defined need.
• Objectives, outcomes, and evaluation are clearly outlined
• Strong governance, responsible financial management, and stability
The Pryde Foundation does not fund:
- General or non-specific annual fundraising campaigns
- Debt retirement
- Political or sectarian organizations
- Organizations that are fully government-funded
- Individuals
- Bricks and mortar capital projects (major construction), unless the project demonstrates exceptional benefit to individuals with physical or mental challenges or significantly enhances community well-being. These applications may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
