More than a Drop in the Bucket-Foundations and the Global Water Crisis

Constance — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 21:33:46 +0000

More Than A Drop in the Bucket: Funders and Global Water Issues Join our discussion looking at how three foundations are responding to the emerging water crisis. We will present an interactive session highlighting work from various perspectives including corporate, small foundation and large foundation carrying out its own charitable activity. The panelists will respond to the question, “why focus on water” and discuss where they see opportunities for action. They will also examine in depth the role that a foundation can play in a global issue and provide examples of entry points for other foundations. Attendees will take away a better understanding of the issues, stories from the field, as well as practical information how they can be part of the solution from a strategic, programmatic and legal point of view. PARTICIPANTS: Shari Austin, RBC Foundation Danielle Valiquette, One Drop Foundation Connie Wansbrough, Harbinger Foundation MODERATOR: Tim Morris of Walter Duncan Gordon Foundation

How do I apply for a grant?

Drew — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 21:45:13 +0000

While we appreciate that there are many worthy organizations, due to our limited resources, we do not accept unsolicited requests for funding. Occasionally we do post open funding opportunities so please do check back.

How do I find out if the Foundation announces funding opportunities?

We suggest that you visit the Harbinger website on a quarterly basis for updates.

What if I think that the work of my organization really does fit with the mandate and goals of the Harbinger Foundation? Is it possible to send a letter of interest?

Drew — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:52:44 +0000

Yes, we welcome hearing about organizations whose mission aligns with ours. Please keep the letter of interest to one page and include your email address. While we do our best to respond to queries we cannot guarantee a response to all of the letters.

Can individuals or organizations outside of Canada apply for funding?

Drew — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 15:26:09 +0000

The Foundation is only able to support Canadian registered charities.
