Deadline: 15-Jul-22
The Community Arts Council of Vancouver is accepting applications for its Community Arts Fund Grant to provide support for the planning, creation, and execution of projects that focus on building community through arts-related engagement.
Both organizations and individuals may apply to create projects that will help to build bridges of understanding, community confidence, and support in the City of Vancouver. Projects that serve the Downtown Eastside (DTES) community will receive special consideration as the fund was originally founded on supporting the DTES and has since expanded to reach the wider City of Vancouver community.
Funding Information
- Individuals and organizations can request up to $5,000.
- Depending on how funding is allocated to other projects, you may receive more or less funding than you originally applied for.
