Donation Requests

GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING A REQUEST

Power Corporation of Canada proudly supports a wide range of organizations throughout Canada. Every request that is received is carefully reviewed to ensure that the organization and/or the project in question aligns with the Corporation’s philanthropic approach and values, and generates a significant impact in the community.

APPLICATION LETTER

For a donation request to be considered, your organization must include an official application letter. The following information must be included:

  • A brief description of the organization’s mission;
  • The details of your request, including the donation amount requested;
  • The location and date of the event, if applicable;
  • The contact information for the resource person within the organization; and
  • Other important partners you may have, if applicable.

ELIGIBILITY OF REQUESTS

The following organizations or projects are not eligible for financial support from Power Corporation:

  • Individual projects or ones in support of one individual in particular;
  • For-profit organizations or companies;
  • Donor-advised funds, private foundations or personal trusts;
  • Organizations that discriminate based on race, religion, sex, age, nationality, ethnicity, handicap, political affiliation or sexual orientation;
  • Political causes, candidates, organizations or campaigns;
  • Religious or sectarian organizations (with the exception of non-denominational projects or activities organized for the benefit of society at-large); and
