BC Arts Council | Arts Impact Grant

Description

COVID-19 continues to have a profound effect on arts and cultural organizations in B.C. and to illuminate the need to address racism and systemic inequities.

The Arts Impact Grant is a responsive and flexible funding program. This grant allows applicants to prioritize a project that will provide the most necessary and meaningful impact to their organization, practice, and/or community during this time of recovery, renewal, and change.

Awards are available to support a specific project, or a suite of related activities, which may include but are not limited to:

• Research, development, creation, and production of new work, including commissioning and collaboration.
• Presentation, circulation, distribution, exhibition, and dissemination of work (e.g., in-province, national, and international touring).
• Program enhancements (e.g., community or youth engagement initiatives).
• Organizational development and/or capacity building including human resources, governance, and/or revenue diversification projects (e.g., co-op placements).
• Sector development activities or services, or collaborative projects.
• Leadership development (e.g., equity, diversity, inclusion and access processes or Indigenous outreach training) and mentorship opportunities.
