Hey there, time traveller!

The Gender & Women’s Studies (GWS) program at Brandon University is now accepting applications for the Margaret Laurence Endowment Fund grants for the current academic year (April 1, 2025 – March 31, 2026.)
The grants — Program and Work-Study Grants — aim to foster greater collaborations between community-based organizations and the university’s academic program by supporting projects that address social justice and intersectional oppression.
The Program Grant offers $2,500 to support programming costs, including expenses for supplies, food and honoraria for guest speakers, stated a university press release issued Thursday. There are four grants available under this category.
The release added that the Work-Study Grant provides $5,000 in funding, allowing organizations to support programming while also facilitating a Gender & Women’s Studies student placement. “Of the total amount, $3,000 will be allocated as a stipend for a student working with the organization during the summer term, while the remaining $2,000 can be used for project expenses,” it read.
Eligible projects should focus on reducing discrimination related to gender, race, class, sexuality, disability and neurodivergence, it stated.
Non-profit organizations interested in applying must submit a proposal outlining their project’s objectives, expected impact and budget details. Applications must be submitted by March 14. Recipients will be required to submit a final report summarizing their project’s outcomes and an itemized budget of expenses.
Interested organizations should complete the designated proposal form and submit it via email to Lisa Robson, Gender & Women’s Studies co-ordinator, at gws@brandonu.ca.
