Summary
Annual grant supporting smaller Canadian organizations that provide direct support to youth mental and physical health. One of three eligible streams (added in 2025) specifically funds initiatives for youth living with a physical disability, with a focus on physical activity-based programs that also support mental health. Awardees are selected with input from a Youth Advisory Committee of people with lived experience. Derived estimate from $255,000 / 8 awardees suggests approximately $30,000 per awardee (not funder-stated). 2026 intake closed March 9, 2026; communication to applicants began early May 2026. Next intake expected in early 2027 based on the annual cycle (grant typically opens in Q1 with awards announced in April or May). Contact: Leah Monette, leah@kindredfoundation.ca.
Eligibility
Smaller-sized Canadian charitable organizations (or those affiliated with a qualified donee) supporting youth mental and physical health. Three eligible streams: organizations supporting Black youth, organizations supporting 2SLGBTQ+ youth, and organizations supporting youth living with a physical disability. Initiatives serving more than one of these communities are also encouraged.
