Alma Lee Legacy Donors
|
In 2006 the Vancouver International Writers Festival created an endowment fund celebrating the accomplishments of its founder, Alma Lee. The fund has grown to over $660,250, thanks to many generous donations from individuals and matching contributions from our government partners, the Province of BC through the BC Arts Renaissance Fund, and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The fund will increase our ability to present international writers of significant stature to Festival audiences, develop Spreading the Word programs for schools and help us plan for the future. The BC Arts Renaissance Fund and Canadian Heritage have announced that they will continue to match donations to the Alma Lee Legacy Fund until the end of 2007. This is a rare opportunity to give more than you ever thought possible. For more information on the Alma Lee Legacy Fund please visit our Be A Friend of the Festival pages or call Ann McDonell at 604 681 6330 ext 104. |
