Empowering Charities
Responding to COVID and Supporting our Partners
In the wake of the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, the Peter Gilgan Foundation temporarily paused our Grant Program in the spring and directed our 2020 funds towards COVID medical and emergency relief efforts.
Although the work to fight this virus and its impacts is ongoing, we’re excited to announce that as of November 2020, we’re once again welcoming new applications for funding through our Grant Program.

Changing the World Together:
Since launching in 2016, our Grant Program has supported hundreds of exemplary Canadian charities that create opportunities for young people to succeed and lead the charge for a sustainable future.

“Thank you to all our wonderful community partners. You’ve shown me what it really means to create something special and to make this world better.”
