Vancouver Foundation is trying to make funding more accessible. In the past, they required Investigate research projects to match funds, but in 2023, both Convene and Investigate grants will not require applicants to match their funding request. As part of their commitment to trust-based philanthropy and equitable grant-making, they hope to address and remove barriers to accessing grants.
