Grant and Funding Programs Offered by Definity Insurance Foundation

Definity Insurance Foundation adds a dedicated justice-oriented grantmaking voice to the Canadian funding ecosystem. Seeded through the demutualization of Economical Mutual Insurance Company, the foundation focuses on climate, health, social, and economic justice, with particular attention to systemic barriers faced by Black, Indigenous, racialized, and underserved communities. Its work matters because many equity-driven organizations need funders that understand structural inequity, long-term partnership, research, convening, sector strengthening, and flexible support beyond project-by-project funding. The foundation can support initiatives that build community capacity, address chronic underfunding, and shift resources toward organizations closest to the issues they are trying to solve. In the broader ecosystem, Definity Insurance Foundation complements corporate giving and public programs with philanthropic capital intentionally designed for justice, learning, and systems change. That makes it a useful funder to track even when specific application windows or partner-led grant opportunities vary over time.
