CRD- Projects, Series and Extended Programming Grant

Overview of the CRD- Projects, Series and Extended Programming Grant program:

This grant program is designed to support not-for-profit arts organizations in the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. It targets both emerging and established organizations that aim to produce or present public programming in the arts. The program's goal is to enhance the accessibility of arts to the region's audiences and participants by investing in creative projects of regional significance. Eligible activities include one-time projects, a short series of events, or programming spread across a year, helping to ensure diverse and culturally rich offerings. Applicants must operate within CRD-funded jurisdictions such as Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay, and others.
