Environmental Grantmaking in Canada
CEGN's goals include contributing to a better understanding of the context of environmental grantmaking in Canada, promoting and increasing environmental giving in Canada, and increasing collaboration among grantmakers - and among grantmakers and grantseekers.
When considering how best to achieve these goals, CEGN's Board members were struck by the absence of Canadian data on the issues, needs and priorities for environmental funding. They felt the need to improve the data collection, analysis, debate and exchange of information within Canada.
In response CEGN has created a database that provides a profile of environmental grantmaking in Canada. There are currently two products of the database:
The profile provides aggregate data on the size and characteristics of the Canadian environmental grantmaking sector. This will help to identify sector-level needs and gaps, to generate discussion and support collaboration among grantmakers and others, and to provide individual grantmakers with a context for their activities. It will serve as the base for a variety of further research, consultative and communications projects.
Through CEGN's website, members and others have access to an interactive search component of the database. The database serves as a practical resource for individual grantmakers by providing information for day-to-day work and strategic funding decisions, and in identifying other grantmakers who may be sources of information or potential partners on specific issues. For grantseekers, the database helps to identify potential sources of funding for environmental work in Canada.
