The Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network has announced a call for proposals for Heritage Micro-grants, for which the deadline is Feb. 28.

The QAHN is a “non-profit, non-partisan, province-wide organization engaged with its members in the preservation and promotion of the history, heritage and culture of Quebec — and, in particular, of Quebec’s English-speaking communities.” The organization says it “strives to advance the knowledge of the history, heritage and culture of those communities by informing, inspiring and connecting people through its activities and services.”

The QAHN points out that “thanks to generous support from the Department of Canadian Heritage under the Dedicated Fund for the English-speaking communities of Quebec, QAHN is pleased to announce a first call for proposals for its new Supporting Heritage Awareness, Recognition and Engagement (SHARE) program.”

Non-profit member-organizations of QAHN “are eligible to apply for a micro-grant of up to a maximum of $25,000.”

The SHARE program will be funding projects that “raise the visibility of the English-speaking heritage of Quebec, build bridges and foster dialogue between English-speaking minority and French-speaking majority communities,” and “encourage collaborative endeavours between Anglophone and Francophone heritage organizations or groups.”

For more information about program objectives, conditions and eligibility, and/or to obtain the application form, contact the SHARE Project Coordinator, Julie Miller (julie@qahn.org). n
