CANADA, May 28 - Applications are being accepted for French-language funding to support projects that enhance services and promote linguistic vitality.
The Province is investing $250,000 to support non-profit organizations in delivering initiatives that reflect the needs and priorities of B.C.’s francophone communities.
Administered by Francophone Affairs, the funding was announced in Budget 2018. Since then, $1.25 million has supported 23 projects in areas such as health, early learning and child care, violence prevention, historical preservation, access to French-language resources, support for young families, and strengthening African cultural foundation and heritage.
“I encourage francophone organizations to consider how they can help their communities grow and thrive, including in smaller and more remote areas,” said Adrian Dix, Minister Responsible for Francophone Affairs. “While funding for projects in large urban centres benefits francophones provincewide, for 2025, we are setting aside up to $50,000 specifically for proposals from smaller hubs to ensure these communities receive dedicated support.”
Non-profit organizations have until June 20, 2025, to submit their application.
