Banff Centre Offers Project Grants

THURSDAY, 27 APRIL 2006

The Banff Mountain Grants Program is still on the lookout for projects that, “communicate the stories of mountain landscapes as places of ecological, inspirational and cultural value, and that celebrate the spirit of adventure.”

Interested individuals or organizations may apply for grants of up to $5,000 Canadian as long as their particular projects, “creatively interpret the environment, natural history, human heritage, arts, philosophy, lifestyle, and adventure, in and of the mountains.” Parties have until June 1 to submit their applications.

Aside from the creative interpretation of the things related to the mountains, projects should also have a communications component such as films, literature and photography so that they could be brought before a public audience.

The first granting program of its kind, the Banff Mountain Grants Program is, “committed to helping people share their mountain experience with a public audience,” according Mountain Culture director, Bernadette McDonald.

Mountain Culture at the Banff Centre is located at Bannf in Alberta, Canada. For more information on their Mountain Grants Program and on how to apply for it, please follow this link.
