Grant and Funding Programs Offered by The Basilian Fathers of Toronto

The Basilian Fathers of Toronto are part of the Congregation of St. Basil and support social-justice work through the Basilian Human Development Fund. The fund provides financial assistance to programs and projects that promote a biblical vision of peace and justice, with an emphasis on going beyond direct aid to challenge systems that promote inequality. It has supported local and international organizations working on peace, justice, human development, community service and related social concerns. In the funding ecosystem, the Basilian Fathers provide values-based philanthropic capital for projects that may combine service, advocacy, education and systemic change. This type of fund matters because many grassroots justice organizations need modest grants that are flexible enough to support community leadership, local organizing, dignity-focused services or international solidarity. The Human Development Fund helps faith-linked resources reach organizations working on poverty, inequality and social transformation.
