Since the company was founded more than 60 years ago, their social impact programs have made meaningful and measurable impact in communities across the country. The Rogers Youth Grants has an open call for applications to registered Canadian charities and non-profits that deliver educational and employment programs across Canada to youth ages 12-29. They aim to prioritize youth who are furthest from opportunities due to socioeconomic and other barriers and partner with organizations that run programs that integrate education, mentorship and workforce development to empower underserved youth to achieve their full potential.

The following types of programs are eligible for funding:

  • Mentorship
  • Core academic training, facilitating academic achievement
  • Career readiness/jobs-based skills-building
  • Structured learning aimed at increasing the likelihood of pursuing higher education or employment

Benefits of Rogers Youth Grants

Grants

  • Rogers Youth Grants are valued at $10,000 or $25,000.

Rogers Youth Grants Requirements

Organizations must be a charitable or non-profit organization.
• Grants are intended to be for one-year (no multi-year agreements).
