We’re delighted to report that we’ve received a grant from the Inspirit Foundation that will allow us to grow!
The funds will support our continued work with The Green Line in Toronto. It will also allow us to hire a network lead — a much-needed role to oversee the continued development of Documenters Canada across the country, working in current and future locations and helping us build partnerships with news organizations and community groups to help ensure the usefulness of the documents we’re producing. We also hope this person will help us build a Community of Practice around Documenters Canada, to help us all learn from what’s working in each location.
Finally, it will help us do a small, proof-of-concept-style launch in Montreal. Here, we have a nascent partnership with Pivot Média, known for its unique style of journalisme engagé and its interesting approaches to community-centered journalism (like its salle de nouvelles).
We’re still working it all out, but these new funds are a huge step for us.
