Deadline: 10-Jan-22
The Community Living BC (CLBC) is pleased to announce the launch of a one-time Community Inclusion Innovation Fund for anyone in B.C. currently engaged in work to advance inclusion.
In response to the challenges of COVID-19, and the opportunity it has presented to innovate, CLBC has established a one-time Community Inclusion Innovation Fund to support proposals that advance inclusion for the people CLBC serves. CLBC is looking to provide funding to support creative initiatives that challenge all of them to do things more effectively, build on lessons learned during COVID-19, innovate service delivery, support the rollout of CLBC’s new LIFE-based service, and advance work from the Re-Imagining Community Inclusion Committee.
This Fund provides an opportunity for groups, service providers, organizations, and individuals to submit proposals for grant funding to test new approaches to achieve inclusion, and / or those that show promise for being sustainable, and / or to help newly established service delivery models scale up to their full potential.
CLBC’s goal is to provide grants that develop, fund, and implement new types of supports, services or processes that move them closer to the vision of Lives filled with Possibilities in Welcoming Communities.
Funding information
- People are invited to apply for grants of $ 5,000 up to $ 100,000.
Eligibility Criteria
People who build inclusion come from all different backgrounds, experiences, and professions. What they have in common is a desire to make their community a better place and one that welcomes everyone. The opportunity to apply for an Innovation Fund grant is open to:
- self advocate and family groups and associations
- community living service providers
- community agencies currently active in the community living sector, and
- community organizations currently working outside the community living sector that deliver programming they believe is meaningful and transferrable to people served through CLBC funded supports.
