The Educational Projects Sector of the Education Pillar is providing support to collectives, organizations, and educational and scholarly institutions for the development and advancement of Ukrainian Canadian studies, as well as for the teaching of the Ukrainian language.
Priority will be given to projects that can demonstrate their feasibility by providing a best-practice model for the delivery of all stages of the project, can provide evidence of realistic budgets, and can provide evidence of financial and/or in-kind supports from other sources.
The Shevchenko Foundation fulfills its mandate by disbursing grants in support of various initiatives that assist groups and individuals in the four pillars of Arts, Education, Community Development, and Heritage.
The Shevchenko Foundation’s grant-giving stewardship extends priority to projects and programs that:
- Contribute to enriching the Canadian experience with the beauty, passion, and diversity of Ukrainian Canadian culture;
- Contribute to strengthening the Ukrainian community in Canada;
- Share Ukrainian Canadian cultural contributions with a broad and diverse public on a community, regional or national level;
- Exhibit financial capability to undertake and sustain the project and/or program within the boundaries of a business plan, either as an organization or an individual;
- Employ new technologies and partnership models on how Ukrainian Canadian cultural heritage is created, produced, disseminated, and preserved.
