The Game Changer Grant is our largest annual grant, designed to empower charitable organizations with innovative ideas that can create real impact. Offering up to $30,000 in start-up funding, this grant is your opportunity to address an urgent need in the community and transform your organization.
We’re looking for bold, new projects that need support to get off the ground—whether it's a proof-of-concept, trial, or initial launch. If your idea is ready to make a difference and you can show how it will be financially sustainable, we want to hear from you!
To be eligible for the Game-Changer Grant, your project must meet the following criteria:
• Community Need: Identify a gap or need in your community and explain how your project will address it.
• Financial Viability: The grant should cover the majority of your project’s costs in the first year. If your project has long-term goals, be prepared to show how you’ll sustain it financially beyond the initial year.
• New Initiatives Only: This grant is for new projects. If you’re seeking funding for an existing program, please explore our Community Grants program instead.
Ready to apply? Here’s how it works:
1. Application Period: Submit your application between August 30th and October 2nd through our online grant portal. Be sure to complete your submission by midnight on October 2nd.
2. Project Presentation: If your application is shortlisted, we’ll invite you to present your project to our Grantmaking Committee. This is your chance to showcase your vision and explain how your project will make an impact.
3. Notification & Funding: The successful applicant will be announced in November, and funding will be disbursed on January 1st. The funds must be fully used by December 31st of the same year.
