Successful grant applicants are asked to sign a Grants Agreement before receiving a cheque 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. 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
