Grant Applications

The Foundation is currently accepting grant applications from Nov. 1, 2026-Feb.1, 2027. The Foundation has allotted an overall budget of approximately $50-60k to distribute amongst successful grant applicants during this grant window.

As part of the Foundation's recent strategic review, the Foundation has carefully reviewed its grant application process to align with its updated definition of heritage and to ensure a more inclusive approach to the grant awarding process through the newly created Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Funding Stream.

We are happy to accept your grant application by using the Grant Application Form. If you require an alternative format or assistance in completing the form, please email wrhf@regionofwaterloo.ca.

The intent of all grants awarded by the Foundation is to assist with deserving projects which might not otherwise reach completion.

Any individual or group in the Region of Waterloo may apply for funding.
