Une subvention est non remboursable : une fois approuvée, elle n'a pas à être remboursée, mais la plupart des bailleurs exigent des rapports d'étape ou finaux.

Le programme est offert par torontomu.ca, un organisme non gouvernemental; les règles d'admissibilité et les périodes d'admission sont fixées par l'organisme plutôt que par un ministère.
