CSC - Accelerator Micro-Grants
The purpose of the Canada Service Crops Accelerator Micro-grants Stream is to to test accelerator micro-grant delivery with CSC alumni, i.e. youth who have already completed a service opportunity with CSC. Organizations in this stream will design and deliver accelerator micro-grants to motivate altruistic behavior, help remove barriers, including financial ones, and to enable service objectives. With the goal of fostering a culture of service in Canada, participants will apply to receive funds up to $5,000 per youth-led project to remove barriers and to accelerate or incubate their pre-existing ideas for service and civic engagement.
