Community Gaming Grants Simplified

Dear Friends,

Along with my colleagues MLAs Rob Fleming and Carole James, I am hosting a free seminar on how to access funding from BC's Community Gaming Grant programme.

The event takes place this Friday, October 21, from 2:30pm-4:30pm at the Burnside Gorge Community Centre (471 Cecelia Road).

The seminar will be given by David Sheach, Executive Director of the BC Association of Charitable Gaming. Also helping to organize this event is CharityWorks, the Capital Region Charitable Gaming Association.

The purpose of this event is to assist the many eligible non-profit groups on the south Island. Gaming grants are available to "non-profit organizations which provide programs or services of direct benefit to the broader community." Grant funds can be used to cover operational costs such as wages, utility costs or facility rentals. They can also be used for other purposes such as to rent or purchase equipment required for delivering the program or service.

This seminar will be of value to anyone active in a non-profit organization who wants to learn more about how to best access Community Gaming Grants. Please feel free to share this announcement with your own contacts.

If you would like to attend, please RSVP to admin@charityworks.ca.

Warm Regards,

Lana
