Hey, is Sue (or any other Canadian) around? I'm trying to find some general information about federal funding for nonprofits, and it's haaaard! Any ideas?
I think you'll find that federal funding is administered by the various Ministries on a program basis.
There's the Service Canada website, which is supposed to be a one-stop shopping place for Federal Services, but it's geared for the public.

You might try calling their general number and see if anyone there can direct you...
For general information about government programs and services, call our toll-free number: 1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232).
I will look around, I am sure there's a non-profits org somewhere.
I want to get a new ceiling fan for our living room. The current one is a POS that doesn't move much air. I want a big ass Hunter fan.
Just don't get one with a remote. We've probably installed a dozen ceiling fans in our various houses over the years and the Hunter fans, while awesome, have the shittiest remotes on the planet.
I'll remember that. We've installed a couple of Hunters and they have been fantastic, but no remotes.
My proudest ceiling fan installation was a Hunter. There was no existing ceiling fan or light fixture. I had to run the electrical myself and install the box to hold the fan. I think you could have suspended an elephant form the box I installed, because if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.
Jesse, where is your org based in Canada? There seem to be organizational guides for non-profits for the different provinces and territories. This is the one for Ontario, which contains links for funding:

Here's a guide to programs and funding for Women:

I was in a training course with some people from the YWCA doing programs for youth and their funding was coming from Health Canada.

You and Lewis would get along quite well from that standpoint.
Thanks, Sue! Some people are making some noise about us having a national Canadian organization, but I don't think it really makes sense -- especially when I see that most funding is provincial, not federal. BTW, I love 1 800 O-Canada.
How long can you leave out wet cat food?
Jesse, I think that some of the funding is Federal, and they download the administration of it onto provincial bodies, making the whole thing completely confusing.
That makes sense -- a lot of federal money works that way here, too. It still means you have to apply for it on state/provincial or even local level.
PS: Thank you so much -- my boss will think I'm a genius!
