Stevens Family Foundation Criteria for Grants

The Stevens Family Foundation donates strictly and solely to registered Canadian charities, as defined by the Canadian Revenue Agency and the Canadian Income Tax Act.  

Considering the very large number of requests we receive from many worthy causes, we are obliged to be highly selective. In order to help those causes which we do support, we must say no to many projects and organizations which may be just as worthy.
