I am pleased to let you know that following a successful first spring cycle, the Federation is now welcoming submissions for the fall cycle of the EDID Initiatives Fund.
This fund is intended as an opportunity for member associations to develop initiatives that advance equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization (EDID). Associations may choose to present projects and events that take place year-round, and beyond Congress.
This fund continues to build upon the progress we have made in various areas of EDID since the independent Congress Advisory Committee on EDID released their “Igniting Change” report and the Federation committed to its five-point Action Plan.
The applications deadline for the fall cycle is September 15, 2023. Another cycle will open in the spring 2024. For more information on eligibility criteria, process guidelines, and to apply, visit the EDID Initiatives Fund page. Feel free to direct any questions or concerns to me at dsivaparan@federationhss.ca.
Thank you, and we look forward to learning about and supporting your initiatives as they take shape.
Sincerely,
Dhanela Sivaparan
Senior Advisor, EDID
