Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about Yukon Foundation — Douglas B. Craig Grant
Free
Can sole proprietors apply?
No. Project Grants are available to Yukon Registered Societies only. Sole proprietors and for-profit businesses are ineligible. A CRA registered charity number is not required, but non-registered societies face extra due diligence from the Foundation.
What's the typical award amount?
$5,000–$15,000 for most projects. Capital projects with strong justification can reach up to $25,000. The Foundation does not publicly disclose maximums.
When are decisions made?
Applications close at 11:59 pm (YT) on May 31 annually. Decisions are announced summer-fall of the same year. Missing the deadline means waiting 12 months for the next cycle.
Why do most applications fail?
Most fail by applying as a business or an unregistered group, or by budgeting for staff/admin costs instead of materials/equipment. Projects must directly benefit Yukon residents.
Can I stack this with other grants?
Yes, compatible with CanNor NIEOP, Yukon Energy/Agriculture branches, and AAFC AgriAssurance. Avoid duplicating funding for the same equipment.
