Climate Action Grant
Are you a Canada-based organization looking to make a positive change in the community through climate action initiatives?
You may be eligible for Relish’s Change in the Making Climate Action Grant. This is our national grant to support climate action projects.
We recognize solutions to climate change are often complicated, and defining and reaching audiences can be a challenge. Because your good work affects all of us, we at Relish want to help you make change — with engaging design and marketing solutions, and help with prototyping and improving web interactivity.
We help organizations by covering a minimum $10,000 in labour costs to help them elevate their brand, communications and technology.

Why are we doing this?
Relish has had a longstanding desire to give back to our local community. It’s what led us to become a B Corporation and is the driving force behind everything we do.
The idea for Relish’s service grants were born out of this mind frame of giving back in hopes that we could contribute in a more meaningful way. It is our hope to build relationships and create opportunities, both internally and externally.
