CBF Charitable Foundation

The ACBL Rules and Regulations governing Charity Fund Club Championships state that the first Charity Club Championship game a Canadian club holds must be for the benefit of the CBF Charitable Fund.

Every second Charity Club Championship game thereafter must also be for the benefit of the CBF Charitable Fund. After the initial game, a club may alternate the beneficiary between the CBF Charitable Fund and local charities.

• The CBFCF supports charitable activities intended to benefit Canadians.
• Donations are made only to non-profit organizations operating programs considered important to the health and welfare of the community. Organizations must have a Canada Revenue Agency registered charity number.
• Applications should be for specific projects and contain budgets and timelines.
• Donations may be made for general or specific purposes and for projects covering a defined period of time.

Preference is given to organizations that:

• contribute to a better quality of life;
• encourage efficient use of human and community resources;
• render a service that meets a widespread need;
• demonstrate new approaches and techniques;
• address underlying causes of problems rather than only symptoms;
• benefit individuals without preference based on race, sex, religion, creed, sexual orientation, etc.;
• have a registered charity number; and
• are willing to publicly acknowledge the donation.

Capital projects will be considered where there is a demonstrated need. Pilot or demonstration projects must have a realistic plan for viability beyond the pilot stage.

Donations are not usually made to:

• religious organizations for direct or indirect religious activities;
• political organizations for direct or indirect political activities;
• establish or add to endowment funds;
• support ongoing operating expenses of established organizations or programs; or
• duplicate other funding from governmental sources.

Your application should contain the following:

• Name of charity and registered charity number
• Name of contact person with the charity organization
• Complete mailing address and contact phone numbers
• Email address, if available
• Outline of the specific project or projects for which funding is requested
• Amount you hope to receive
