Funding Database (Program Development Funding)

Funding Database (Program Development Funding) is sponsored by McConnell Foundation. The McConnell Foundation occasionally directs modest amounts of funding to support organizations that seek to test a new idea aligned with their focus areas through their Program Development funding.

Funding Database - McConnell Foundation Explore our database to learn more about the partners we have funded over the years. This database includes funding from our current focus areas as well as from past initiatives that are no longer accepting applications. The majority of our current funding is allocated to our three focus areas: Communities, Reconciliation and Climate.

In addition to our focus areas, we devote a small portion of our funding to support organizations based in our home city of Montreal, and to organizations seeking to strengthen their capacity to address social and environmental change.

We also occasionally direct modest amounts of funding to support unique and time-sensitive needs through our Opportunity funds, or to organizations that seek to test a new idea aligned with our focus areas through our Program Development funding. Finally, our staff and board occasionally provide directed funds to charities across the country. A full list of our funding can be viewed on the Canada Revenue Agency’s website .
