UPDATE

In 2026, after much deliberation and consideration, Mazon has decided to restructure our granting program to meet two major challenges: the growing cost of food and growing instability in the nonprofit sector affecting our partners.

We decided on a granting structure of larger, stable, multi-year commitments and have already allocated available funds to ~70 incredible organizations across the country. As such, we do not currently have any open applications.

We still hope to stay in contact with the hundreds of other organizations in our network that we unfortunately could not fund this time around, seeking opportunities to offer one-time grants as fundraising allows. To all the groups, organizations, communities, and schools across the country who feed people every day; thank you for all the work that you do.

The information below is for pre-existing partnerships. Please check our blog, Instagram, and newsletter for regular sector updates and for more information on how Mazon Canada is working to end hunger in Canada.

GROCERY GRANTS

These grants are for organizations buying food directly for people in need. This is the most urgent aspect of our work and is th ebiggest part of our granting budget.

GEAR

GRANTS

These grants help organizations buy equipment that builds their capacities for feeding the hungry, like kitchen equipment.

GARDEN GRANTS

These grants buy supplies for community gardens, teaching people in need to grow their own food and helping organizations feed healthy fruits and vegetables to their clients.

ADVOCACY GRANTS

These grants support activists and advocates with the resources to tackle hunger at the very root and empower thought-leaders to do research, design policies, launch or expand campaigns that work towards ending hunger in Canada.

SOCIAL MEDIA GUIDELINES

If your organization uses social media, we'd love for you to make one mention of our support online this year.

This post can thank Mazon's Jewish community, or the Jewish community of Canada (who Mazon is supported by)! It can briefly describe the program Mazon funds and how it benefits your community, include an image of the program itself, and tag Mazon Canada as a funder.

We'd love to hear about the success of the program Mazon funded, along with images of the program and testimonials if possible. Brag away! We'll share it!

SOCIAL MEDIA

Example 1: Thank you @MazonCanada, The Jewish Response to Hunger, for supporting our Protein Program! Mazon provided 500 litres of milk for our food boxes this year. Because of supporters like you, our neighbours have access to healthy fresh food.

Example 2: We are so grateful to @MazonCanada - on behalf of the Jewish community - who once again helped provide us with the means to feed 30 families through our COVID-19 Emergency Deliveries.

Here is a note of thanks we received from a grateful client:

"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful food hamper. It was delivered to me by a lovely family. It means to much to know they care!"

Example 3: Our meal kit program was a huge success! We preped a nutritious family meal which was all ready to cook later in the week for more than 80 families, sharing the joy of cooking and healthy eating with their little ones. Thank you @MazonCanada and the whole Jewish community, and all of our other sponsors and donors!

Example 4: We’d like to thank the Jewish community of Canada, who through @MazonCanada, funded the hot meal program for the women who visit our centre. It means so much to our community to have a place to share a warm meal and meet new friends. Thank you Mazon and to our volunteer cooks!
