Transforming the lives of those in underinvested communities by supporting innovative solutions in housing, adult education and the environment.
The Civic Engagement for Social Change initiative by the Catherine Donnelly Foundation encourages active citizenship and community transformation through adult education or popular education processes. This grant program supports projects that promote democracy and aim for a more inclusive, just, and sustainable society in Canada. It particularly backs efforts that enable marginalized people to address and confront issues such as racism, poverty, and exclusion. The Foundation advocates for participatory approaches where learning is mutual, rooted in the participants' experiences, and leads to critical dialogue and action. This initiative values the role of faith in motivating social change and is open to supporting projects within various faith-based, multi-faith, or secular contexts. Projects that foster leadership, engage in participatory research for action strategies, and contribute to personal and social transformation are encouraged.
