$50,000 In Cultural Legacy Funding Available
The Department of Community and Cultural Affairs is currently accepting applications for this year’s Cultural Legacy Fund. The total amount available for grants this year is $50,000, which is shared between the successful applicants.
Now in its third year, the Cultural Legacy Fund was created in 2009 during Bermuda’s celebration of its 400th anniversary.
As an initiative of the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs and the Bermuda Arts Council, the Cultural Legacy Fund aims to “give a significant boost to Bermuda’s culture, heritage and arts through strategic, focused investment in the form of financial grants.”
The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Patrice Minors said:“The Cultural Legacy Fund is a demonstration of Government’s commitment to the development, promotion and support of culture and the arts in Bermuda.
“Our culture, folklife, traditions and our heritage define us as a people by invoking in us a sense of identity, pride and love for who we are. So the goals of the CLF aim to support those organisations and individuals who will keep our culture alive by protecting, nurturing and preserving our heritage.”
Grant proposals by individuals, new or established organisations and charities will be considered. The deadline for applications is December 1, 2012.
Applications can be picked up from the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs located on the 4th floor, in the Dame Lois Brown Evans Building or copies can be downloaded from www.communityandculture.bm.
