In the past
ten years, the Douglas-Coldwell Foundation has provided
more than $300,000 in financial aid to ventures that
support our mandate: promoting education and research
into social democracy.
We have helped to fund
the publication of biographies of Tommy Douglas, Stanley
Knowles, Clairie Gillis and Grace MacInnis. The biography
of M.J. Coldwell commissioned by the Foundation, and
written by well-known Canadian author Walter Stewart
was published by Stoddart Press in the spring of 2000.
The Foundation has also made substantial financial contributions
in assisting the publication of a number of books and
magazines concerned with current and important issues
from a different perspective.
For more information
on the grants that we have given please vist Current
Year Grants or Archives.
(currently our
grants total approximately $25,000 annually)
Please note that
due to the volume of requests we receive, we unfortunately
cannot commit to all proposals. At each Board Meeting,
grant proposals are reviewed and voted upon for approval.
Our larger grants are generally approved at the Fall
Board Meeting for the upcoming year and the remainder
of any grant funds will be approved at the Spring Board
Meeting. For the date of our next Board Meeting please
click here. All grant requests must be submitted
two weeks prior to the next meeting to allow time for
review.

"Man can now fly in the air
like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can
burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could
walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise."
