CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

The Climate Reality Project Canada is thrilled to announce the launch its stipend program, designed to increase the inclusiveness and reach of the Leadership Corps by making trainings more accessible to segments of Canadian society that are typically under-represented within our vast pool of Climate Reality Leaders.

***IMPORTANT: for the question “Are you applying for a training as an individual or as part of a particular group, organization, or company?” please select “as part of a group.” When the question “What is the name of your group, organization, or company” appears, please enter: “Canadian stipend program.”***

Stipend recipients will be required to organize and cover the costs of their own travels and accommodation, and to submit their receipts to the Climate Reality Project Canada office along with proof of completion of the training, after which a check will be emitted for a maximum of CAD $500.

Groups are eligible to apply for the stipend program but will be considered as a single applicant and will therefore only be eligible for a single CAD $500 grant.
