This National Giving Tuesday, SJC invites applications for the 2025 Giuseppina Gagliano Family Wellness Grant.
In honour of SJC's matriarch, Giuseppina Gagliano, this grant continues her legacy of supporting organizations dedicated to family well-being in Canada.
As an immigrant mother of 10 and partner to her entrepreneurial husband who started a printing business from the basement of their family home, Giuseppina faced challenges and sacrifices. Yet, she knew that a strong family foundation built on love and support could overcome anything.
The Giuseppina Gagliano Family Wellness Grant seeks to empower an organization that is helping Canadian youth experience the strength and security of a safe and happy family life. This includes having their basic needs met and being given equal opportunities to thrive, learn, grow, and feel valued and loved.
Are you interested in applying for the Grant? Here's what you need to know:
- The Grant is open to Canadian registered charities that support family well-being, including but not limited to, shelter, physical health, mental health, education, childcare and financial stability.
- Each year, the Grant will provide one organization with a $2,000 donation and two full-page print ads in their choice of SJC Media magazine (Toronto Life, Maclean’s, Chatelaine, Canadian Business, HELLO! Canada or FASHION) to raise awareness about their cause (up to $56,000 value).
- The recipient will be announced on March 8, 2025, International Women’s Day.
The application deadline for the 2025 Grant is February 21. If you have any questions about the Grant eligibility or process, please email sjc.connect@stjoseph.com.
