Every year we fund dozens of projects to help build healthy, vibrant and equitable communities across British Columbia and Canada by using our resources to their maximum potential.

While the majority of our grants are long-term commitments, Canadian charities which are registered with the Canada Revenue Agency are invited to apply for grants which support community-based health and education programs.  We do not provide grants to individuals.  Nor do we fund political campaigns, legislative lobbying efforts or projects that exclusively serve religious purposes.

A review of each application is based on its own merits and is evaluated against all other requests and current endowment commitments.  The Directors endeavour to think strategically about how they can create the most value for society with the resources at their disposal.

The Foundation receives submissions from many organizations, and the available funding enables the Foundation to assist only a portion of these.  We are a small team and receive a large number of applications each year.  Therefore, unfortunately, we are not able to meet to discuss your application or provide advice before you apply.

Applications open January 1^st of each year.  The deadline is March 30.  All applications should be submitted in writing to:

Djavad Mowafaghian Foundation
4^th floor, 1111 Lonsdale Avenue
British Columbia, Canada
V6G 2E9

Remaining grants for 2025 are limited.
