The Answers
1 Who can apply?
Anyone or any group with a proposal that is consistent with the mission
of the IEEE Canadian Foundation.
2 Why do I need to relate my project to the mission of the IEEE
Canadian Foundation?
Because the IEEE Canadian Foundation is required to comply with the Canada
Customs and Revenue requlations
regarding its activities as a registered charitable foundation.
3 What is a well documented proposal?
First and foremost, it is a business plan. It states clearly the purpose
of the project, the time frame for completion, the resources needed for
sucess, a clear definition of what is meant by sucess and clear metrics
to measure sucess.
4 What about funding?
That's where the our foundation may come in, along with other folks. The
IEEE Canadian Foundation may fund all or part of real expenses,
depending on the nature of the project, and its relevence to our
objectives. The more inovative your proposal, and the more financial
partners you find, and the smaller the percentage of funds that you ask
the foundation for, the more likely you are to receive a grant. If your
request is for more than a few thousand dollars, it will be difficult
for the foundation to provide funding.
