The Regional Cultural Project Grants by Metro Vancouver support arts and culture organizations with creation, production, dissemination, audience development, research, project staff and/or administrative capacity building. Project grants are awarded to a maximum of $10,000 each.    Applications are open now and close on April 22. 

Eligibility:

Grants are intended to support regional arts and culture projects, not ongoing operational/general expenses.  In order to qualify for a 2024 grant, the applicant must:

• ​​​promote arts and culture as its primary purpose;
• produce and present arts and culture on a regular basis within the Metro Vancouver region;
• be a “stand-alone” and not merely part of an organization whose function or purpose extends beyond an arts and culture mandate;
• be a non-profit society, registered under the BC Societies Act for at least two fiscal years (i.e. registered before April 2022);
• demonstrate that it is a well-run organization with a well-defined arts and culture mandate, sound administration and solid business plan; and
• ​obtain funding from diverse sources.

Project marketing timelines and project delivery must occur between September 1, 2024 and August 31, 2025. Pre-production planning and work may take place before September 2024.​

Organizations may only apply for one grant per year.
