We are pleased to announce $747,000 in grants to support the arts in Waterloo Region. This funding includes $330,000 from Region of Waterloo This funding also includes a collaboration with City of Waterloo to fund microgrants through @PatTheDogPDC’s Microgrant Program. “Making funding recommendations that reflect the diversity of people across our region, and a wide range of arts disciplines, were priorities for WRCF and both committees reviewing arts applications. The projects selected achieved those goals – but many excellent projects did not receive funding because funding available was 40% of the total requested. Having a vibrant and supported arts community is an important component of creating and maintaining a region where people are connected and thriving, so WRCF is committed to continuing to work with partners across the region to explore options.” -- Eric Avner, President & CEO, @WRCommFdn Read our joint press release to see a full list of organizations and individual artists and arts collectives supported: https://lnkd.in/gqweZvCV

2dEverything about this is wonderful. As government spending continues to ratchet down, we are going to have to do more to keep the soul supporting activities alive.
