LAIDLAW FOUNDATION

Laidlaw Foundation distributes grants to nonprofits across Canada, with a particular focus on organizations working in the Greater Toronto Area.

Laidlaw awards grants ranging from small project funds to multi-year operating support, helping nonprofits expand their capacity and reach.
