The Winter Holidays and Community Events grants have been combined into one grant, the Community and Holiday Events grant. The grant provides up to $16,000 annually to each Gwaii Trust Community for public events. The purpose of the grant is to help support open and accessible community events for the residents of Haida Gwaii.
There has also been a standardization of equity this year, including an equity reduction for nonprofits from 50% to 25% for the Community Innovation grant.
