British Columbia Multiculturalism Grant program

On December 13th, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture launched the 2018-2019 British Columbia Multiculturalism Grant Program. The grants are open to registered non-profit and charitable organizations and offer up to $5,000 in funding for activities, programs and events in communities across the province to engage public participation in building cross-cultural and intercultural interaction, trust and understanding, or challenge racism, hate and systemic barriers.

The grants will be available for community projects in two streams:

• International Interaction Stream: Projects that build cross-cultural and intercultural interaction, trust and understanding between people of different ethno-cultural, racial, religious and other backgrounds through a range of activities, programs, events and approaches.
• Anti-Racism and Systems Change Stream: Projects that challenge racism, hate and/or reduce systemic or institutional barriers for under-represented, radicalized and/or other minority groups, especially those that use a collaborative community approach.

The deadline to apply is January 10th, 2019. Please feel free to share the poster promoting the awards.
