We are pleased to announce that UBC is launching a new fund to help support its ongoing commitment to advancing equity and anti-racism across the university.
The Strategic Equity and Anti-Racism Enhancement (StEAR) Fund is open to all students, faculty and staff. A total of $300,000 is available this year to support campus community-led projects.
Applicants may submit a proposal for funds between $500 to $10,000 per project. To be eligible for funding, projects will seek to advance racial equity, disability equity and/or equity in relation to sexual and gender identity (with consideration of intersectionality).
