Literacy Grant in Honour of Clive Tanner

Thanks to funds donated to SPCF in honour of Clive Tanner, an annual grant has been established to support projects that focus on improving literacy on the Saanich Peninsula.

Clive Tanner was a passionate supporter of the Saanich Peninsula community and instrumental in establishing Sidney as a ‘Booktown’ when he was owner of Tanner’s Books. Providing a grant towards a project that benefits literacy on the Saanich Peninsula is a fitting tribute to Clive.

Literacy-focused projects could include support of reading, writing, numeracy, digital literacy or other associated skill, and could impact children, youth, adults or seniors but must demonstrate an impact for Saanich Peninsula residents.

If, after reading the Guidelines, you have questions about your project’s eligibility for the SPCF Literacy Grant, please email: [email protected].

Guidelines

The Saanich Peninsula encompasses three municipalities, Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney.

Grants from the Foundation’s Community Fund are awarded on an annual basis in the Spring of each year. The value of the grants typically range between $1,000 – $5,000 per organization.

Organizations seeking funds must demonstrate a strong and committed volunteer Board of Directors, fiscal responsibility, and effective management of resources.

Grants are awarded for definite purposes and for projects covering a specific period of time.

Preference is given to organizations that promote volunteer participation, and which do not duplicate services provided by other organizations.

The following are not normally eligible for grants:

annual fund drives
building campaigns, however, small identifiable components of capital projects may be considered
deficit reduction
direct religious activities
institution’s statutory programmes
political activities
