2026 Clean50 – Summit 15 Attendance Financial Assistance Request
Application for Financial Support to Attend the Clean50 Summit
With the support of Mackenzie Investments, we are pleased to be able to offer support to very small organizations, charities, and individuals not presently employed who have won Clean50 Awards, but would otherwise be unable to travel to the Summit. The objective is to serve as many funding applicants as possible, within our budget, and consequently support is limited to a maximum contribution of $1,000 per person, broken down by way of a maximum of $750 (plus HST) for travel, and a maximum of $250 for accommodation. If travelling from western Canada, our contribution will cover the night before the Summit, and if travelling from the East, it usually feasible for Honourees to travel to and from the Summit on the same day and consequently, unless we have a surplus, we do not usually cover accommodations (barring extenuating circumstances, or lack of return flights on any airline after 8:30 PM). Priority will be given to those employed by the smallest organizations, and those for whom travel costs would represent the largest burden (i.e. from the North or remote portions of Canada) To be clear, we do not cover add on room charges or meals, other than at the Summit where we promise to feed you well along with coffee (and wine / beer /water!)

If support is not available, what impact would result?
(Required)
If we have more funds than requests, then we will be pleased to extend support as truly needed. Our objective, if we have more claims than we have funds to share, would be to provide as much support as possible to those who truly need it or for whom Summit participation would become impossible, and offer less support to those who might otherwise be able to manage, or who have air miles or other means of supporting their own expenses.
If full support is not available, I would find a way to get to the Summit regardless
If full support is not available, I would have no other means of funding my travel, and could not attend
I need at least some support to make this work

Acknowledgement of conditions
(Required)
I acknowledge that a) support will only be provided upon provision of actual receipts for travel and accommodation that show all particulars including the name of the traveler and that payment was made b) support will be provided only after you have actually attended the Summit and submitted receipts (payment usually within 48 hours via e-transfer) c) We require an itemized invoice / statement – including base and HST amounts broken out separately for individuals and charities, with the HST number of the provider also listed. For HST paying organizations we will not reimburse HST amounts (those can be claimed directly on the organization’s HST return)
