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 — only CRA-registered charities with operations in Yukon qualify. Sole proprietors and unregistered non-profits are ineligible. The Foundation requires charity registration, not just incorporation.
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 June 1 annually. Decisions are announced summer-fall of the same year. Missing June 1 means waiting 12 months for next cycle.
Why do most applications fail?
Most fail due to missing CRA charity registration (not just incorporation), or 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.
