Fwd: OTF Application ID# RF111250 - Funding Decision

Thank you for submitting an application for funding to the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). We appreciate the time and effort that went into the application, and we understand the commitment you have to the success of your organization’s mission.

OTF receives a very high volume of applications and while there are so many worthy proposals, we are only able to fund a limited number of projects. Unfortunately, we are not able to fund your application which is further outlined further below.

We recognize you will be disappointed with this notification and are aware it is arriving at a challenging and unprecedented time. To help non-profit organizations to find alternative supports, we have gathered a list of many of the government and community resources that are being made available to non-profits.

When we receive an application, we assess the organization and project eligibility based on our policies and the application’s strengths and weaknesses relative to our assessment criteria. A review of your organization’s eligibility, your project’s eligibility, and your application’s weaknesses, if any, are indicated below.
