Our granting focus

Paul Barber Foundation offers grants to registered charities across Canada, for programs delivered within the country.

We strive to create long term partnerships by providing multi-year grants. This helps charities focus on delivering impact with stability and consistency.

How to apply

There are 2 ways to apply for a PBF grant:

Open call for applications

We will typically have one open call for applications each year. These grants will have a specific purpose related to one of our 3 pillars. New grants will be announced when they become available, through LinkedIn, on our website, and through our mailing list.

By Invitation

We reach out to organizations in our network to learn more about their programs. While this process is more informal, we’ll still ask for key details, like recent financial statements, as part of our due diligence.

Currently, we’re only scheduling meetings with organizations within our network, and  are not able to accommodate unsolicited requests.

Available Grants

There are currently no available grants

We will have a new open grant in late winter 2025. Join our mailing list to be notified when new grants become available.
