Applicants should review the eligibility screening requirements to ensure that they are eligible for funding under this call. GAC will not pre-assess or comment on the eligibility of specific potential applicants. To be eligible, you must meet each of the following eligibility screening requirements and, where stipulated, provide supporting documentation. If your organization is submitting a proposal on behalf of a group of organizations that would sign the funding agreement with GAC, each organization (i.e. co-signatory) must meet all of the following requirements and provide documentation:

• Your organization is a Canadian organization, which means for the purpose of this call that your organization is legally incorporated in Canada, established with an office and employees in Canada and can provide proof of legal status (e.g. a letter of incorporation) along with a Canada Revenue Agency business number;
  • If your organization is an Indigenous organization in Canada, it must provide supporting documentation on its history, governance and/or ownership structure.
• You must provide separate financial statements for your organization’s 2 most recent fiscal years. Audited statements are preferred. If these are not available, statements must be signed by a member of the board of directors of each signatory, by the board’s delegate or by the owner(s). Note: since financial statements usually provide comparative information from the previous year, these statements will be used to do a 3-year trend analysis;
• Your organization is registered in the Partners@International portal; and
• You must provide an Organization Attestation (PDF, 102 KB, 4 pages) signed by the organization’s chief financial officer or a duly authorized board member.

If you are unable to respond to any of the above requirements, your organization is not eligible to apply under this call.
