*Please note: we have a limited number of grants available per year. We will notify you if you are successful.

A book grant for your class or school for:

A selection of books related to Vancouver’s heritage and history (see side photo for current books)
A field trip grant (to cover some of the costs for admission to a heritage place or for a guided tour in Vancouver related to heritage and history).
You can apply one time per school year, per teacher. Feel free to connect with other teachers or teacher-librarian at your school to coordinate grant asks for classes.
