PROJECT GRANTS

Nidus applies for grants from various funders and we are very thankful for their support.

Project funds are time-limited and of a specific focus. When the project is over, the funding ends. Nidus is grateful for project funds but it is not the same as having stable funding to provide core services.

Other sources of funding for Nidus – You can help!

Nidus relies on modest fees-for-services and private donations for day-to-day operations. You can help Nidus continue to provide information and facilitation with Representation Agreements and other aspects of personal planning, please consider making a tax receiptable donation at Ways to Donate.
