Our mission at The Canary Fund is to provide change-makers in Northeast Wisconsin with funds, or seed grants between $1,500 and $5,000. Seed grants are an important way to support individuals and community groups that aren’t necessarily recognized as registered or established organizations, and offer funding to help take early-stage projects to the next level. The funds help to provide acknowledgement and validation that their activities are important and valued in our community. Oftentimes, our seed grants have a multiplier effect in that they help individuals leverage their contributions into additional funding.
