As a charitable initiative, Projects are legally entitled to give out grants in accordance with Canadian charitable regulations. In order to give a grant out, the following criteria must be met:

• The grantee is a qualified Canadian donee
• The outgoing grants are made according to Canadian charitable regulations

Projects should consult with their Project Specialist to determine the circumstances under which granting out is appropriate.

When the Project is ready to give out a grant, the Project Director must submit the required Grant Recommendation Form. The following information is required:

• Name and charitable number of the grantee
• Grantee contact name
• Purpose of the grant
• Amount of the grant
• Any specific installment or reporting requirements
• Payment instructions
• Award number and program area from which the grant is being made 

If the Project has sufficient funds available for the grant withdrawal, the Project Specialist will sign off on the grant recommendation and submit it for processing. 

MakeWay processes grants every two weeks.
