Introduction
The City of Prince George has collaborated with partner agencies to develop a pilot granting program (December 2021 – October 2022) that financially assists non-profit agencies to hire persons with lived/living experience. A UBCM 2021 Strengthening Communities’ Services Grant is funding this short-term project.
Grant Purpose
This short-term grant program is seeking non-profit applicants that will value the lived experience of Peers and create employment that is barrier-free, safe, welcoming and inclusive. It will provide greater opportunity to a population that is generally marginalized and has not received equitable learning and/or employment opportunities.
Timelines
Applications will be accepted starting the first week in December 2021 and will remain on-going until funding is committed. Adjudication and grants approval will take place on an on-going basis and as applications are submitted.
