Apply for Funding – 2026

Application Criteria & Eligibility

Our Lady of the Prairies Foundation provides grants in the following areas of interest:

  • Spiritual
  • Educational
  • Social
  • Healing
  • Environmental

Grants are available to charities or organizations with registered charity numbers. Preference is given to projects that:

  • empower people
  • strive to be inclusive
  • avoid duplicating similar services
  • set measurable objectives, which will be evaluated
  • plan for future funding needs

The Foundation generally awards grants of up to $10,000.00; however, requests for larger amounts will be considered. We prefer not to make long term commitments.

Grants are disbursed within Saskatchewan and Alberta, or to organizations whose programs are Saskatchewan-focused.

Application Process

Application deadlines are May 1 and October 1 with grants being disbursed twice a year in June and November respectively. Applicants are required to fill out the online application form, ensuring the requested additional financial information is attached and compliant with the size limit. The terms of the application must be agreed upon by an authorized signing officer.

All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application. Successful grant applicants are asked to sign a Grants Agreement before receiving the grant money and are expected to evaluate the projects objectives and submit a final report to Our Lady of the Prairies Foundation within six months of the project completion.

All other forms of submission will not be accepted. Incomplete applications or applications received after the deadline will not be processed. Grant applications that do not meet the criteria and eligibility guidelines above will not be considered. The Foundation does not award grants to:

  • individuals
  • deficits
  • political organizations
  • organizations that are wholly government funded
  • retroactively to projects that have already taken place

Our Lady’s application deadlines are May 1 and October 1 every year.
