Do you have an idea for an initiative that advances equity, diversity and inclusion at UBC? We believe in supporting community-led projects that are informed by community voices. By providing funding to UBC community members, including students, faculty, and staff, we seek to build capacity to lead change and meet the specific and localized needs of diverse communities.
