Event Funding Program

The Ontario Brain Institute (OBI) is committed to working together with brain health-related organizations in order to increase the capacity of their work in Ontario. OBI’s Event Funding Program provides financial assistance of up to $5,000 for events that are aligned with our goal of improving brain health and wellness for Ontarians. The program especially looks to support events that embody OBI’s principles of integration and collaboration. Applications are reviewed three times a year in January, May, and September.

We welcome applications from registered not-for-profit organizations:

• University or College
• Research Institute
• Hospital
• Foundation
• Patient advocacy group
• Charity

Individuals, independent programs, and university departments must apply through one of the eligible organizations listed above.

Successful applicants will be notified of the awarded amount and funding restrictions through a signed Letter of Award. Funding for successful applicants will be provided after the event follow-up report is signed and submitted to OBI.

NOTE: OBI is willing to consider providing advances for successful applicant organizations under exceptional circumstances, at OBI’s discretion.

We are no longer accepting applications for our January round of funding for events. We thank all the applicants and will be in contact with our decisions in the new year.

The May round of Event Funding will be for events taking place between June 1 and September 30, 2020. Please submit your applications below.

The Deadline for the May round of applications is April 17, 2020.

Future Deadlines: August 14, 2020

Payments for approved events will be made in a single tranche once the Follow-Up Report is submitted. Please submit this form no later than 30 days after the completion of the event.
