Who we are

Raising Arrows is a homeschool-grant ministry serving Christian families in Manitoba in their first year of homeschooling. Grants are disbursed by our registered-charity sponsor, CEO Ministries. Donations and reimbursements flow through CEO Ministries' charitable accounts.

Who can apply

To be eligible you must:

  • Live in Manitoba.
  • Be beginning home-based education for the first time (this is a first-year-only grant).
  • Be a Christian family — we welcome families across Christian traditions.
  • Have school-aged children (5–18) being educated at home.

Final eligibility decisions rest with the Raising Arrows administrators and CEO Ministries.

What you get if approved

If your application is approved you receive a grant cap based on your children's ages (typically $375–$750). We reimburse 75% of qualifying receipts up to that cap. Submission window is six months from approval unless we extend it for you in writing.

Qualifying expenses

Reimbursable: curriculum, workbooks, and educational books. That's it — we keep the scope tight so receipts are easy to verify.

Not reimbursable: field trips, school supplies (paper, pens, notebooks), technology (tablets, laptops), furniture, extracurricular fees, tutoring, co-op fees, food, second-copy curriculum, and anything else not a curriculum, workbook, or educational book.

If you're unsure whether something qualifies, email register@raisingarrowsathome.com before you purchase.

How reimbursement works

You upload a receipt photo + amount to your portal. We review within 5 business days and either approve or reject with a reason. Approved receipts roll into bi-monthly payouts (the 15th and the last day). CEO Ministries sends the e-transfer to the email on file.

Currency: CAD receipts are reimbursed directly. USD receipts require an explicit reimbursable-CAD amount which we set when approving.

Your obligations

  • Submit only receipts for materials you actually purchased for your own household's use.
  • Do not double-claim against other grants or tax credits without telling us.
  • Keep your portal contact email + address current so payouts reach you.
  • If you withdraw from homeschooling during the year, please let us know so we can close your file fairly.

Our obligations

  • Treat your application + financial information confidentially (see Privacy).
  • Review your receipts within 5 business days.
  • Pay out approved reimbursements within 1–3 business days of the scheduled batch date.
  • Notify you in writing if program rules change.

Photos + testimonials

Uploading a photo or testimonial to the portal gives Raising Arrows permission to use it (without identifying child faces) in our annual report, newsletters, and on this website. You can request removal at any time by emailing us.

Suspension

We may suspend a grant if we believe receipts have been falsified, double-claimed, or the program is otherwise being misused. We will tell you why and give you a chance to respond before any permanent action.

Disclaimer

Raising Arrows is a ministry, not a contract for services. We do not guarantee any specific funding level beyond what we have approved in writing. CEO Ministries reserves the right to adjust the program in response to donor restrictions or CRA guidance.
