Introduction to the MLSE Foundation Community Action Grant
Thank you for your interest in applying for an MLSE Foundation Community Action Grant. As a dedicated initiative, our foundation aims to support Ontario-based organizations that leverage sport and recreation to foster a more equitable future for youth. We invite you to take the next steps in securing up to $50,000 for your impactful programs.
Important Dates and Application Guidance
Mark your calendars! Calls for Expressions of Interest (EOI) will open on November 3rd, 2025. It’s essential to complete your organizational profile before submitting your EOI. Applications submitted without both forms may not be eligible for review. We encourage you to prepare in advance to ensure a smooth application process.
Eligibility and Focus Demographics
MLSE Foundation is keen on funding organizations classified as qualified donees by the Canada Revenue Agency. This includes registered charities, athletic associations, and various community organizations. Notably, we prioritize applications that focus on black youth, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis youth, as well as women. Partnerships with trustee organizations can also be leveraged if your organization lacks qualified donee status.
For any questions about the application window, or for support regarding your Expression of Interest, please contact us at foundationgrants@mlse.com. We’re here to assist you in creating a positive impact in your community.
