IODE 100th Anniversary Grant Program

Deadline Extended for 2021 Application

The IODE 100th Anniversary Grant program is a signature

program managed by IODE Canada on behalf of the membership.
Members and chapters are encouraged to promote the Grant to
appropriate agencies.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic IODE Canada has decided to

extend the deadline for applications from October 31st to
December 15th, 2020. The announcement of the winner will still
take place on IODE Founder’s Day February 13, 2021. A Spring
or Fall program 2021 can benefit from this Grant.

The Grant will support programs that might develop a new idea or
approach, or it may replicate, adapt, or scale an evidence-based
proven model that treats an identified social issue in your
community involving youth and children (ages 0 to 25).

The evaluation tools are an important part of the application and

are given weighted consideration by the adjudicating panel. IODE
requires professional evaluation of programs awarded the Grant
so that each may contribute to the knowledge of best practices.

IODE would encourage applicants to consider and to demonstrate

in their program description that they will pivot to provide
services during this time of social isolation and reduced personal
contact. Safe protocols for both the service provider and
the recipients should be included.

IODE chapters or individuals may approach agencies to encourage them and to help them apply
effectively for the Grant. Consult the application brochure, stories of past winners and the Terms
of Reference as they appear at www.IODE.ca
