Revision: Official non-profit status not required

We want to reach as many groups with cultural space initiatives in Metro Vancouver as possible with the Cultural Space Development Mentorship and Coaching Program. That’s why we’ve decided to make a slight change to our eligibility criteria. Now, groups that are working towards non-profit status but haven’t yet incorporated are eligible and may apply. Repeat: you don’t necessarily need to be registered as a non-profit to apply to our program!

We’ve updated our FAQ and have posted a slightly revised Call for Applicants. Let us know if you have any questions.
