The IEEE Canadian Foundation awards "Special Grants" to an IEEE Student
Branch, an IEEE Section, an IEEE Canada Committee, a non-IEEE entity
such as a high school , or in rare cases an individual, all in Canada.
Special Grants are intended to partially fund one-time new and
innovative projects that advance IEEE's core purpose to foster
technological innovation and excellence to benefit humanity.
Occasionally a project which is similar to a previous one may be funded
but requests for funding for ongoing projects or repeated projects are
not normally considered.
Note Applications must be complete and received by the posted
deadline in order to be considered.
Time Frame for Applications
Special Grant Applications are considered at three times each year. The
submission deadlines are March 15, August 15, November 15. If your
Special Grant application is time critical, be sure to indicate your
preferred response time and explanation, as interim review may be
undertaken by the IEEE Canadian Foundation.
The Application
The application should include:
- an executive summary containing the amount of funding being requested,
the objective of the project, a brief description of the project,
the applicants, and the relevance to the IEEE Canadian Foundation mission

- a detailed plan of activities including time lines and metrics
- a detailed financial plan showing all projected income and expenses

not an IEEE entity)
- a clear statement relating the project to the objectives of the
IEEE Canadian Foundation
