Section 2.2: Target Users.

Section 2.4 outlines what we won’t fund.

Applicants must obtain any legal and/or regulatory approvals, consents or reviews required to accept foreign grant funds and/or conduct the project activities, before concluding a funding agreement. For example, project activities in India may require prior registration with the Ministry of Home Affairs under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act 2010 (FCRA). As such, successful applicants would have to provide either FCRA registration or written certification. Failure to comply with FCRA requirements may result in financial and/or criminal penalties against your organization. Get advice to determine if FCRA applies.
Grand Challenges Canada may, at any time and at our sole discretion, change the eligibility criteria for applicants, Project Leads and/or eligible countries, as long as it doesn’t substantially undermine the review process.
