Dow recently announced the opening of its 2025 charitable grant application program in Canada.
This initiative is part of Dow’s ongoing commitment to community investment. The charitable grant program is designed to create lasting impact through financial and volunteer support for educational institutions, registered charities, non-profits, Indigenous organizations, and other eligible organizations.
“As we continue construction on our Fort Saskatchewan Path2Zero expansion project we value the opportunity to continue our tradition of supporting surrounding communities we operate in,” said Jess MacDonald, Dow community relations manager. “We encourage eligible organizations to apply and look forward to partnering with successful applicants to collaborate on creating positive change.”
Interested organizations can find complete details about the application process, eligibility, and how to apply on Dow Canada’s website. The deadline to apply is March 1, 2025, and Dow prioritizes investment in the following areas: addressing community-identified needs while advancing equitable opportunities, building and diversifying an education pipeline for STEM & skilled trades, environmental sustainability.
Previously, Dow Canada has invested $6.8 million into the City of Fort Saskatchewan’s new aquatics facility and the Access for Everyone program, and $2.5 million in support of the nourishment centre in Fort Saskatchewan, a conservation project for Prairie Potholes, and STEM and skilled trades education for Indigenous students.
“These collaborations reflect Dow’s belief that our actions should positively impact the communities where we operate and the environment we share,” said Don Cameron, Dow Alberta Operations site director. “As we continue with our Path2Zero expansion project, we embrace this responsibility and strive to actively create meaningful and positive change to help our communities thrive.”
Eligible organizations include registered charities and other qualified donees (as per the Canadian Revenue Agency) who can issue official donation receipts & qualify for charitable tax credits and non-profits incorporated provincially in Alberta and Ontario.
“We are thrilled to see Dow’s continued investment in our community, and we know these partnerships will profoundly impact the lives of residents in Fort Saskatchewan and the surrounding regions,” said Fort Saskatchewan Mayor Gale Katchur. “We are so proud that Dow has chosen our city for its expansion project, and we look forward to continued growth and prosperity together.”
