Call for Beneficiaries 2022 in Canada
Deadline: 31-Dec-21
The Pride and Remembrance Association has launched call for beneficiaries 2022 to encourage physical fitness and athleticism in the context of the Pride celebrations; and to raise funds for charitable organizations whose aims and activities benefit the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Project Funding
Applicants should seek to ensure that their project funding proposals align with the following selection guidelines and funding principles.
Where possible, the PRA prefers to fund (ideally, on an exclusive basis) stand-alone projects for which funding from other sources may not be readily available.
Projects should ideally reflect the general themes of Pride and/or Remembrance, and should focus in one or more of the following areas:
Youth
Education and Awareness
Health
Arts and Culture
The PRA will not fund staff salaries, except on a time-limited basis and tied specifically to the Project proposal. The PRA will generally not fund operating costs of the Applicant.
Although the merits of each Project will be the prime consideration of the PRA in its selection of beneficiaries, the marketability of a given Project to the PRA’s constituents (its current and potential event sponsors and to Run participant’s) will influence the beneficiary selection decision.
In selecting a successful project and Applicant, the PRA Board may consider the following:
Who will benefit from the Project, and how?
Is there a pressing, immediate need for the Project?
Is there a long-term benefit to the Project?
Does the Project relate to the 2SLGBTQ+ community? Would it have broad appeal?
Would the Project appeal to Event participants for fundraising purposes?
Is the Applicant able to provide adequate volunteer and/or promotional support to the PRA and the Run?
Eligibility Criteria
In order to qualify as a beneficiary, an applicant must:
Be an incorporated charitable organization registered and in good standing with the Canada Revenue Agency;
Provide services or conduct activities that benefit the 2SLGBTQ+ community. These activities might include, among other things, the provision of services of a medical, educational, legal, social, athletic or cultural nature; and
Participate fully in this application process.
