The Knowledge Institute offers funding opportunities that help organizations across Ontario test new ideas, strengthen services, improve quality, and involve children, young people and families in meaningful ways.

Why this work matters

New ideas can only make a difference if they're tested, implemented, and shared.

Our funding programs help organizations put promising approaches into practice, evaluate what works, and share what they learn so others across Ontario can build on that knowledge.

What you can expect

Each opportunity has its own goals, eligibility requirements, application process, and timeline.
