Book lovers and readers will have a chance to meet local authors and publishers or pick up some books, including crime and mystery books, biographies, historical fiction, poetry and children’s books. The goal of this year’s program is to strengthen the non-profit sector and support local organizations with flexible, general and operating funding.
Last year, the program distributed more than $4.32 million and helped 191 organizations. The Community Grants Program is only part of the Victoria Foundation’s overall granting strategy. In 2022, the foundation provided more than $25 million in grants to organizations.• For more information, go to victoriafoundation.bc.ca/community-grants-program.
“While many mental health conditions can be effectively treated at relatively low cost, there is a gap in services that our young people can access.

Mayor Marianne Alto said the Festival Investment Grant program saw a record number of applications from local non-profit organizations this year.
