In The Community > Funding Requests
Manitoba Public Insurance will consider funding requests that support our core business interests, including road safety, medical rehabilitation, competitive insurance product sales, vehicle loss prevention and business partnerships. We also consider requests from organizations that promote quality of life in Manitoba through arts and culture, diversity, education, environmental health and major sporting events.
Funding is usually directed to programs, organizations and events that operate at the provincial or regional level, or in the communities where our service centres are located.
Requests for support of under $5,000 should be submitted in writing at least 60 business days before the event or program. When larger amounts are sought, the request should be made at least six months in advance.
Please provide the following information:
- Organization’s name and contact information (mailing address, e-mail address and phone number)
- Program or event name and purpose
- Geographic location
- Target audience
- Description of the event or program and how it relates to the goals of Manitoba Public Insurance
- How funding will be used
- Dollar amount requested
- Type of support requested (corporate table, donation, grant, sponsorship, special event)
- Any other sources of funding
- Estimated budget for event or program
- Date(s) of event or program
- Deadline date for funding notification
- How the contribution will be acknowledged
How you will be notified
If the request has been submitted in writing, you will be notified of our decision by way of a letter. Under normal circumstances, we will respond to requests for financial support within 30 days.
If a contribution with a value greater than $5,000 has been approved, you will be asked to sign a legal contract as part of the funding approval and payment process.
If a contribution is less than $5,000 and the recipient uses the corporation’s name or logo in association with the funding, the corporation may issue a Letter of Agreement.
Organizations funded at $5,000 or more will also be required to complete a
mandatory
post-funding report as a condition of funding.
If the request has been declined, the reasons will be clearly stated.
Please note that requests by telephone or Internet may be declined verbally, and that requests by mass mail-out to a generic address may not be acknowledged.
