The Canadian Directory to Foundations & Grants is an online database containing updated information on over 2,200 Canadian grant-making foundations. Together these foundations hold assets of almost $12 billion and award grants with a total value of over $1 billion. The directory includes over 150 American foundations with a history of granting in Canada as well. This database is now accessible via Novanet.
Linda Floyd says
We are an underfunded hospice in an agressive growth retirement community 100 km northwest of Toronto with an army of volunteers and no money for residential hospice beds looking for grant monies to assist with our building fund/ and or our operating fund. Can you suggest foundation(s) whose mandate might fit with our needs?

Hi Linda
It wouldn’t really be appropriate for us to recommend a particular granting agency to you. I recommend you go to your nearest library and ask to see their “Canadian Directory to Foundations & Grants” reference work and other grants sources. Librarians there can help you navigate/use these resources.

Hello, The resource is now called Grant Connect and it’s accessible through our databases list (choose the Databases tab on the Libraries homepage and enter Grant Connect). However, it’s an on-campus only resource – it’s not available off campus.
