Our Meaningful Work Foundation
Are you a registered Canadian charity breaking down barriers?
In 2017, we launched the Meaningful Work Foundation to increase our non-profit capacity and make giving part of our DNA. Every year, 10% of our profits are given to organizations that work to break down barriers to employment. Since 2019, Raise has provided more than $815,000 to 44 charities around the world that are actively working to remove barriers to work.
Raise’s mission is to “connect people in meaningful work” so that we realize our vision that one day the 20% of people who love their jobs will become the 80% – and the world will be a different place. These grants further support that mission.
If you are a Canadian charity or non-profit organization that is breaking down barriers to employment, apply for a partnership grant with us!
Thank you to all the charities who apply to our Meaningful Work Grant.
Check back in spring 2026 to apply.
