Granting Process
Attention: We regret to inform you that we are not accepting new grant applications at this time.
Grantee Application Review (2 to 6 months)
After your application is received, our staff may contact you with clarifying questions.
Those applications which best fit the Sprott mandate to alleviate homelessness and hunger will be presented to the Board for approval. (Board meetings occur four times per year.)
Once a Board decision is made, you will be informed in writing, with the grant amount, duration and terms.
After the Decision (2 visits)
We will contact you to schedule an initial meeting at your location to meet your team, see your facility, and learn more about your programming.
If applicable to your delivery model, a second visit will occur during program delivery to meet the people you serve and see your work in action.
If all is in order after our staff visits your charity, the grant will be awarded.
For multi-year grants, progress reporting and regular learning visits are required.
