Foundation
Nonprofit setup, founding documents and charitable status application preparation.
For founders with a cause worth building
Start the foundation you keep putting off.
Without creating a second full time job.
We help turn your idea into a properly structured Canadian nonprofit with charitable status application support, governance and an initial funding pipeline built around your cause.
A focused conversation about your cause, timeline and fit.
Founded & Funded
You bring the cause. We help build the infrastructure.
You should not have to become a nonprofit administrator, teach yourself grant writing or navigate the entire setup alone. Your role is to make the important decisions. Our role is to help turn those decisions into a foundation that is ready to move forward.
Funding
A practical funding strategy and your first three matched grant applications.
Governance
A board and operating framework that does not depend on you doing everything.
Experience, not theory
Built by people who have done the work.
Our team brings more than a decade of nonprofit and charity experience, with hands on work supporting organizations across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Founded & Funded combines that experience into one clear process, so you can move from a meaningful idea to a credible organization without assembling five different advisors.
Regulatory approvals and grant decisions are made independently by the relevant authorities and funders. No approval or funding outcome can be guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
What founders usually ask us.
Who is this for?
People with a clear cause who are ready to establish a Canadian nonprofit or foundation but do not want to manage every technical step alone.
Do I need nonprofit experience?
No. We guide the structure, documents, governance and initial funding work. You provide the vision, information and timely decisions.
Is charitable status or grant funding guaranteed?
No. CRA and individual funders make their own decisions. We focus on preparing credible, well aligned submissions and avoiding preventable errors.
