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:

Federal Funding Sources for Youth Employment:

I was in a training course with some people from the YWCA doing programs for youth and their funding was coming from Health Canada.
I think you could have suspended an elephant form the box I installed, because if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.
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!
I linked to the titanium spork at thinkgeek.com. The Star Trek spork is only $23. Not that I'm considering purchasing it or anything.
$23 is not bad, but you know you'd have to get multiples so that the kids and spouses wouldn't fight over who gets to eat with it.
