Local Groups Outside Canada: Expression of Interest (EOI)
Devxchange delivers charitable activities internationally through Grant Agreements with local groups outside Canada (“grantees”). These groups help carry out Devxchange’s charitable activities on the ground.
This Expression of Interest is not a funding application.
Devxchange is not a funding agency.
Submitting an EOI helps Devxchange determine:
- Whether your community’s needs align with our charitable purposes
- Whether a charitable activity could be planned
- Whether a Grant Agreement relationship may be appropriate
- Whether due diligence should begin
If aligned, Devxchange will follow up to learn more.
