DIRECT DONATIONS

Black in BC Community Support Fund for COVID-19

This Black community support initiative is a fundraiser for a low-barrier, emergency, micro-grant program for Black people in British Columbia, Canada, who are experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

$365

The funds raised through this GoFundMe page will be distributed in one-time allotments of $150, to Black folks on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no expectation that the funds will be repaid, or that recipients will report back on how the money was spent. Our expectation is that the funds raised here will be used by recipients for their most urgent needs. We believe that if we work together, we can help ensure that Black people in BC survive this time of crisis.

THE MOOSE HIDE PROJECT

The Highway of Tears is where so many women, particularly Indigenous women, have gone missing or been murdered. Efforts to address domestic and gender-based violence have historically been led by women and women’s organizations.

The Campaign was founded on the belief that men and boys need to step up and take action too, challenging behaviour that leads to violence and developing a culture of healthy masculinity.
