Entering into a trustee agreement with the Jane/Finch Centre means we act as a charitable partner to help groups and organizations access and manage funds they may not otherwise be eligible to receive directly. We offer three types of trustee agreements, each designed to meet different needs.

- JFC contacts for support

- distinguishing a partnership vs. trusteeships

Once the Jane/Finch Centre has approved the Trustee request from the secondary organization or group, we will develop a draft contract for both parties to sign. The contract will include the timelines for when the funds are received and dispersed, the amount of funds we will be holding, along with the reporting and financial obligations and responsibilities from both parties involved.

We offer 3 different trustee agreement types.

• Grant Trustee: This is an agreement we enter when an organization or group is applying for a grant and needs a registered charitable organization to “trustee” the funds in order for the group to receive their funds.

• Donation Trustee: This is an agreement we enter when an organization or group is receiving a donation from a funder or individual, and requires a registered charitable organization to receive the funds to provide a charitable tax receipt to the funder/donor.

• Partnership Trustee: This is an agreement we enter when an organization or group is interested in partnering with the Jane/Finch Centre whereas programming or staff funds are involved. This agreement requires more support to the organization or group from the Jane/Finch Centre beyond a standard trustee agreement.

For grant trustee and partnership trustee agreements, we ask that all organizations or groups requesting a trusteeship agreement to put in the request before their budget has been created and finalized.
