Bourses Tontine Awards hasn't added a story.

Support awesome creativity in Ottawa-Gatineau!

The micro-grant initiative Bourses Tontine Awards is the initiative of 6 women who pool our money and efforts to provide small, no-strings-attached grants of $1000 to local creative womxn* who are doing art that enhances our community.

We issue a Call for Applications twice a year and receive about 20 applications each time. It’s inspiring to see so much ingenuity in the applications, but our pooled funds only allow us to give out 2 awards per year. It’s really hard not to be able to provide funding to more people who apply, as there are so many deserving applicants and ideas. That’s why we’re launching this fundraising campaign; so that we can say ‘yes’ to more amazing and creative womxn in Ottawa-Gatineau!

Through this campaign, your donations will go directly to supporting more local creative initiatives. We don’t take any commissions, so your money will directly fund someone who applies for an award. With your generous support, we will be able to give out 3 (or possibly 4!) awards instead of only 2 in 2019-2020.

If you want to know more or get involved, please reach out to us at:  tontine.awards@gmail.com  

*the term womxn is inclusive of trans women, queer women, women of colour, women with disabilities, HIV + women, women of all ages, including young women, immigrant women, single mothers and people from marginalized genders.

Contribuez à soutenir l'incroyable créativité de la région d'Ottawa-Gatineau !

L'initiative de micro-subvention Bourses Tontine Awards est l'initiative de 6 femmes qui mettent en commun notre argent et nos efforts pour fournir de petites subventions sans conditions de 1000 $ à des femmxs* créatives locales qui font de l'art qui améliore notre communauté.

Nous lançons un appel de demandes deux fois par année et recevons environ 20 demandes chaque fois. C'est inspirant de voir tant d'ingéniosité dans les demandes, mais nos fonds communs ne nous permettent d'accorder que deux bourses par année. C'est difficile pour nous de ne pas pouvoir offrir du financement à un plus grand nombre de personnes, car il y a tellement de candidates et d'idées méritoires. C'est pourquoi nous lançons cette campagne de financement afin de pouvoir dire "oui " à un plus grand nombre de femmxs incroyables et créatives d'Ottawa-Gatineau!

Grâce à cette campagne, vos dons iront directement au soutien d'initiatives créatives locales. Nous ne prenons aucune commission, donc votre don en entier servira à directement financer quelqu'un qui aura soumis une demande de bourse. Grâce à votre généreux soutien, nous serons en mesure de d'accorder 3 (ou peut-être 4 !) prix plutôt que seulement 2 en 2019-2020.

Si vous aimeriez en apprendre davantage sur les bourses tontine, ou vous impliquer, n'hésitez pas à communiquer avec nous à l'adresse suivante : tontine.awards@gmail.com 

* le terme femmxs se veut inclusif des femmes transgenres, femmes queer, femmes de couleur, femmes handicapées, femmes séropositives, femmes de tous âges, y compris les jeunes femmes, les femmes immigrantes, les mères seules et les personnes de genre marginalisé.
