Types of Grants

Aqueduct Foundation makes over 4000 grants to Canadian registered charities and qualified donees each year. Aqueduct also grants to non-qualified donees, such as foreign charities, active in education and the environment.

Last year, Aqueduct granted over $100 million to registered charities and qualified donees across the country. All grants are made at the recommendation of donors and grant advisors, or through the charitable purposes of an individual fund. Any Canadian registered charity or qualified donee is an eligible grant recipient.

Aqueduct does not have an open public granting program and does not accept unsolicited grant applications. Aqueduct requires each fund to make grants equal to a minimum of 4% of the prior year-end market value annually.
