Details

The Department of Imaginary Affairs is dedicated to collaborating with communities to envision and create more equitable futures across various sectors. To support this mission, the department requires assistance in identifying and securing grant funding. The project aims to provide learners with practical experience in grant writing, including researching relevant grant opportunities and drafting compelling grant applications. Working under the guidance of a supervisor, the team will apply their classroom knowledge of grant writing and community engagement to real-world scenarios. This project will help the department secure necessary funding to continue its vital work in promoting equity and social justice.



Key tasks include:


- Researching and identifying potential grant opportunities that align with the department's mission.

Our work is focused on contributing to the evolving definition of what it means to be Canadian from new and developing Canadians. We are invested in hearing, elevating and amplifying the voices, perspectives, and stories of newcomers and young people in Canada and their visions of alternative and equitable futures. We believe that newcomers and young people make up a majority population in Canada who are under-represented when it comes to the design, development, and implementation of empathetic policies, programs, and services.

We see stories as the key to challenging assumptions, nurturing and fostering creativity, and giving rise to citizen voices.
