Policies and Guidelines for Granting Funding Requests
- Applications for Grant Funding should be submitted to the Treasurer of Harmonize 4 Speech info@harmonize4speech.org no later than October 31st. All request receive will be discussed at the annual planning meeting in January of the following year.
- The principal use of funds is intended for matters related to SPEECH AND COMMUNICATION DISORDERS. As a consequence, we cannot be all things to all people, no matter how deserving the individual situation may be, if the primary disability is not speech related. For example, although most hearing impaired people have speech difficulties, the Canadian Hearing Society is well placed to help in hearing related matters..
- Assistance for Capital Costs for speech related equipment, educational material, textbooks and library resources in Universities, Speech Clinics, Hospitals, County Schools and Treatment Centres is considered a top priorit
- Funding is provided to enable speech impaired children to be helped at special camps, workshops and clinics on a program funding basis. Organizers are usually advised that funds will be pledged on a dollar for dollar matching basis up to a specific maximum amount. This has in the past provided an incentive for organisers to raise funds from other sources.
- Assessments of therapy requirements (depending on the circumstances) are occasionally funded. However, funds for salaries or fees for ongoing therapy are NOT eligible.
- Organisations receiving funding from the Harmonize For Speech Fund must be Canadian Registered Charities or other Qualified Donee listed on the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) website. Funds cannot be provided to private for-profit service providers or organisations.
