On behalf of the BC Government and its Period Poverty Task Force, United Way British Columbia (BC) is excited to offer funding to short-term, impact-focused pilot projects testing out models for increasing access to free menstrual products in BC. The funded pilot projects will provide data and insights to the Task Force so that they can make informed recommendations to the government in March 2024. Interested parties from across the province, including community-based organizations and independent community-based researchers, are encouraged to submit proposals. Particular consideration will be offered to proposals developed by, for, and with Indigenous-led, people living with disabilities, and other equity-deserving communities.
