The Sprott Foundation is dedicated to addressing urgent human need, homelessness and hunger in Canada and worldwide.  It is a leader in providing funding to non-profit ventures which deal with the challenges of global hunger and homelessness. The Sprott Foundation has always believed that philanthropy should offer recipients the means to become self-sufficient.  In this spirit, the Foundation concentrates on "focussed giving", offering support to well-defined projects in its specific area of interest and taking a pro-active approach in interacting closely with the grant recipients.
