What year was your organization established?

1. How is your organization legally defined? (e.g. "Non-profit, registered as a society in BC")

2. Please provide a 1-2 paragraph summary of your organization's history

3. What are your organization's mission and purpose(s)?

4. Who benefits from your work?

Please use the following definition of private benefit as context for the next question:

In Canadian tax law, a "private benefit" refers to any advantage or benefit that an individual or a private entity receives directly or indirectly from a charity. It is considered "private" because it serves the personal interests of the individual or entity, rather than serving the broader public interest or the charitable purpose for which the organization is established. Something is an acceptable private benefit if it is incidental to achieving a charitable purpose. (The risk of unacceptable private benefits increases from grants to individuals or for-profit organizations.)

5. Will any project funds be used for private benefit?

6. Where is your organization headquartered?

7. Where will the proposed work occur?

8. Please provide a very brief summary of the governance structure of your organization (i.e. how many board and staff members, key leadership positions).

9. What project do you hope to collaborate on with Salal? Please include the proposed timeline and budget for this work.

10. What steps has your organization taken to integrate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?

11. What are the projected revenues for the project? List other potential funders, amounts, and timelines.

Salal uses the following criteria to determine whether a request is a good fit. Projects do not need to meet all of these criteria, but a strong proposal will address most of them.

13. How does your request advance our purposes and priorities?

14. Why is your organization best positioned to carry out the work? Do you have the expertise, staffing, and networks necessary to complete the project?

15. Why is Salal’s support critical? Are Salal’s resources, coupled with existing or pending support, enough to ensure the project is successful?

16. What is your Theory-of-Change? Alternatively, if you do not have one, how do your project activities produce the outcomes you seek?

17. What are the odds of success and how will success on this project build on or amplify existing momentum on this or other similar issues?

18. What methods of learning will you apply to the project, and how will learnings be incorporated into your organization and shared with others?

19. How will success build increased public support for the organization and / or this issue more broadly?

20. If the project will build grassroots capacity, explain how. (Put "N/A" if not applicable.)

21. Who are allies on this issue and how do you plan to engage them?

22. Who will oppose your work and how do you plan to address this opposition?

23. How does the organization plan to communicate the success and perhaps more importantly, the failures of the project to a wider audience?
