Worth knowing
If your organization is majority-owned or led by an under-represented group, including Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, visible minorities, persons with disabilities, or 2SLGBTQI+ communities, you qualify for a 70/30 cost-share ratio instead of the standard split, which meaningfully reduces your cash burden on large projects.
