Grantmaking Improvement Reports

As a commitment to continuous quality improvement, PCL examines its funding process and uses the findings to finetune its grantmaking practice.

2025-26 small grant funding round

The 2025-26 small grant funding round made improvements based on feedback from the inaugural small grants funding round five years earlier. The Community Council advisory body — which did not exist in the previous funding round — shaped the grant application, reviewed the video portion of all applications, and voted on funding recommendations that went to the Allocation Committee.

As standard practice after the funding round concluded, PCL staff gathered feedback from applicants, Community Council members, and Allocation Committee members to evaluate strengths and areas for improvement.

2024-25 large grant funding round

The 2024-25 large grant funding round was designed to incorporate lessons learned from the previous funding round five years earlier. In addition, the Community Council — newly launched since the previous funding round — played a critical role in shaping the community engagement process, grant application and other details.

After the 2024-25 funding round concluded, PCL solicited feedback from applicants, community volunteer reviewers, and Community Council and Allocation Committee members.
