Overview of the Quality of Life Grant program:

The Saskatoon Community Foundation administers three primary Community Grants Programs: Vital Focus Grants: These grants provide multi-year funding for projects addressing homelessness, mental health, and equity. Informed by the Saskatoon Vital Signs® report, they aim to respond to the community's top priorities with a data-driven approach. Eligible projects can receive up to $20,000 per year for up to five years. Quality of Life Grants: Focused on fostering belonging, inclusion, and reconciliation, these grants support one-year projects that contribute to a vibrant community where everyone feels they belong. The maximum grant size is $10,000. Youth Endowment Saskatoon (Y.E.S.) Grants: These grants provide funding for projects aimed at children and youth, with specific focus areas determined annually by the Youth Advisory Council. The maximum grant size is $10,000.
