GIFTS SCHOLARSHIP & BURSARY FUND
Over the past decade, one of our primary focuses here at GIFTS has been establishing
and maintaining the GIFTS Scholarship and Bursary Fund to provide emerging
filmmakers an opportunity to gain valuable training at our live-in media facility situated
on beautiful Galiano Island. To date, this effort has been a tremendous success: we have
provided over $350,000 to community groups, disadvantaged youth, and activist
organizations across the country - if we have our way, this trend will continue for many years to come!
