JustChange

JustChange wants to know your innovative idea to improve Ottawa.

A collective of 10 progressive philanthropists, JustChange board members “put their money where their mouth is” to fund great ideas that will make Ottawa a better place.

Co-founder and board member Louis Zuniga says the organization welcomes applications from Ottawa’s queer community. “We’d like to get more diverse applications,” he says.

On Friday, April 5, JustChange will award a $1,000 cheque to recent grant winner EcoEquitable, an employment and skills development charity that engages immigrants through small-scale textile recycling.

Additionally, prospective applicants will have the chance to question board members on what makes a good, cheque-worthy idea.
