Grant Centre Guide

Overview

We have made some important changes to the submission process at the Grant Centre! We have established new guidelines regarding timelines, roles, and responsibilities that will be divided between the Funding and Grants Coordinator (FGC) and TRCA staff. Please read here for more details about these changes. For the full Funding and Grants Policy and Procedure document, please click here.

Are you planning to apply for a grant? The TRCA Grant Centre provides tools, information and resources to support grant seeking, grant writing, post-award administration and more.

Here’s a snapshot of what the application process looks like:

1. Find a funding opportunity that is suitable for your project or program
2. Obtain approval from your manager to pursue the funding opportunity
3. Submit a Statement of Interest to the Grant Center
4. Coordinator will review Statements of Interest against the granting guidelines, and submit to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) for review
5. Once the review is completed, the Coordinator will notify all applicants of the status of their submissions
6. Successful applicants will work with the Coordinator to provide the information required for the application, the Coordinator will submit the application on behalf of TRCA, or coordinate with the Foundation as required
7. The formal submission is reviewed by the funder. The Coordinator will provide details regarding when notification from the funder can be expected (this is not possible in all cases)
8. If your project is selected from the funder, the Coordinator will inform you of the reporting schedule and timeline expected by the funder
