Did You Know?

The new Capital Commission, established with $700,000 from this year's provincial budget, will represent the province geographically and culturally, and serve all people of Saskatchewan to ensure the residents of the province feel a sense of pride and ownership.

Since 1997/98, this program has been targeted to vulnerable children, youth, and families.  In September 2006, the program was revised in consultation with community delivery partners to reflect the broader human development mandate of the CIF. 

Annual grants are for projects that will be delivered throughout the year.  Summer grants assist community organizations in providing summer projects between May and September.

Funding is available to an incorporated Saskatchewan non-profit corporation and/or a community-based or voluntary Saskatchewan group that is endorsed by a recognized partner organization such as a municipality, school, school division or health region.

The program supports about 350 projects annually in areas of education, health, justice, social services, sport, culture and recreation.

Grant applications are reviewed by the Regional Intersectoral Committees (RICs).  These committees provide funding recommendations to the CIF Board. The CIF Board makes all final grant decisions. 

Please note:  The application guidelines and form have been revised.  Applicants must use the revised application guidelines and form for the March 1st, 2008 and future deadlines.
