CKCF Pawsitivity Grants
They don't call them man's best friend for nothing. Humans and dogs have enjoyed a symbiotic relationship for thousands of years. Throughout history, dogs have filled many unique roles and needs for the people they love, becoming one of the most adaptable and diversified species on earth. The CKC Foundation celebrates the many benefits dogs bring to their owners and to Canadian society with our CKCF Pawsitivity Grants.
What kinds of activities do CKC Foundation Pawsitivity Grants cover? Let your imagination run wild! Example activities might include activities like service dog training, advocacy for canine-friendly legislation, promotion of responsible dog ownership, or education on breeding healthy and well-adjusted dogs. If your project helps dogs help people or promotes the positive role dogs play in Canadian society, we want hear about it!
How It Works
Applications for funding are accepted at any time throughout the year and will be awarded until the annual budget for this program has been reached. Each application is assessed by a panel composed of experienced dog owners and breeders who will make recommendations to the CKC Foundation Board of Directors for approval. Please note that because applications for funding are accepted and processed on a first-come-first-serve basis, funds will become increasingly limited over time. Applying early in the year is strongly recommended, even if your project or event won't begin immediately.
Grants are anticipated to average $2,500 but could be higher, to a maximum total of $20,000.00 annually. Payments are made in two equal installments: upon a mid-term report and at the conclusion of the final update. Recipients must provide progress reports and are expected to adhere to timelines outlined in their proposal. Final payment will not be made until the last progress report/report on findings has been received. Additionally, the CKC Foundation reserves the right to publicize awarding of the grant and to share information on project progress made over the course of the funding cycle or after.
Who Is Eligible To Apply?
Normally, CKC Foundation grant recipients must be an eligible recipient for funds from a registered charity as defined by the Income Tax Act and able to issue official tax receipts for donations received. Most commonly, the eligible recipient is itself a registered charity, however in certain circumstances and on a case-by-case basis, the CKC Foundation may enter into agency agreements with groups that are NOT eligible under The Income Tax Act, by having these groups act as the CKC Foundation's agent in carrying out initiatives on its behalf.
No application will be entertained where animal welfare may be compromised. Funding will be withdrawn at any time should the foundation find that the project is failing to support the goals and objectives of the CKC Foundation.
