Creating More Compassionate, Just, and Sustainable Communities
Every day in our communities, compassionate people witness quiet, human storms and are compelled to help in positive ways. Their small acts can make big differences. The Canary Fund supports those acts with funds that can further the impact of their good work.
We recognize the activists, visionaries, and change-makers across 12 Northeast Wisconsin counties who see and work to address unmet needs in our communities. Our mission is to provide those individuals with seed grants of between $1,500 and $5,000.
Seeds for Deeds
Seed grants are an important way to support individuals and community groups that aren’t necessarily recognized as registered or established organizations and offer funding to help take early-stage projects to the next level. The funds help to provide acknowledgement and validation that their activities are important and valued in our community. Oftentimes, our seed grants have a multiplier effect in that they help individuals leverage their contributions into additional funding.
All to the Good
Our funding isn’t limited to a particular type of project or issue. The main goal is to support early-stage projects that create a more compassionate, just, and sustainable Northeast Wisconsin. Funding may be provided, but is not limited to projects involving:
- Human Services and Basic Needs
- Youth Leadership and Development
- Support for Indigenous and Emerging Populations
- Human Rights, especially LGBTQ+ Communities
- Innovative Programs for Seniors and Elderly
- Arts and Culture
- Health and Wellness, especially in the areas of Trauma, Depression and Suicide Prevention
- Environmental Sustainability and Stewardship
- Animal Rights and Welfare
- Economic Empowerment
