Tips for Applicants

Given the small annual giving ($25,000) and specific focus on the Abbotsford Convent precinct, approach this funder with proposals that directly support the Convent's stated programs—writer residencies, visual arts, community engagement, or accessibility initiatives. Focus on alignment with their heritage and community values.

Giving Philosophy

The foundation supports a heritage-protected cultural precinct that fosters creativity, inclusivity, and community engagement. It values place-based storytelling, women's history, Indigenous heritage, and programs that remove barriers to participation in arts and culture.
