Young Canadians Can Win Up to £5,000 for Community Projects in 2026
A Canadian foundation is inviting young people to apply for its 2026 bursary programme. The Tidbits of Change Foundation will accept submissions until April 30th. Each year, it supports three youth-led projects with awards ranging from £1,000 to £5,000.
One past recipient, a teenager from Kamloops, turned a simple holiday display into a major fundraiser. Her efforts have since earned national recognition, including a rare royal honour.
The foundation looks for projects showing initiative, leadership, and community benefit. Selected applicants receive financial backing alongside mentorship support. Previous winners have included efforts in charity, education, and local development.
One standout example comes from a young woman named McNutt. What began as a clothing drive tied to a Christmas light display—built with her father—grew into an annual fundraiser. The event now raises money for the Kamloops Hospice Society.
Her work caught wider attention when she received the King Charles III Coronation Medal. At the time, she was among the youngest Canadians to earn the distinction. Greg Scott, the foundation's co-founder, highlighted how her project evolved from a one-off idea into a lasting community effort.
Scott noted that McNutt's approach reflects the kind of sustained impact the bursaries aim to encourage. The foundation seeks similar stories of young people turning passion into action.
Applications for the 2026 bursaries remain open until the end of April. Winners will join a growing list of young Canadians whose projects have made measurable differences in their communities. The foundation's support helps turn early ideas into long-term contributions.
