The Keg Spirit Foundation will consider funding for both new and established projects based on the following criteria:

  1. The organization must hold, in good standing, a current charity registration number.
  2. The project must relate to children or youth in some way.
  3. The project must have relevancy to the past and the future of the community. 
  4. The project must be a fundamental part of the community.

Each year The Keg Spirit Foundation will make grants to successful applicants. Grants are expected to be in the $5,000 range. The application process consists of two-stages: an initial Letter of Interest, which if invited, is followed by a full proposal.

The initial Letter of Interest must be limited to one page and should include:

  1. A description of the organization and indication of competence in the area of this proposal.
  2. An outline of the project including: a) Who it will benefit b) Design of the project c) Outcomes expected.
  3. A brief (2 or 3 lines) overview of your budget, income sources, and expenses for this project.

Letters of Interest may be submitted at any time and are reviewed on an ongoing basis. If an organization is chosen for further consideration, they will be invited to submit a full proposal that will consist of a more detailed application. Application materials will be sent to you along with an invitation letter. Please note that no full grant proposals will be reviewed without the initial approval of an organization's Letter of Interest.

1. Individuals
