In 2006 the Vancouver International Writers Festival created an endowment fund celebrating the accomplishments of its founder, Alma Lee. The fund has grown to over $878,000, thanks to many generous donations from individuals and matching contributions from our government partners, the Province of BC through the BC Arts Renaissance Fund, and the Department of Canadian Heritage. The fund will increase our ability to present international writers of signifi cant stature to Festival audiences, develop Spreading the Word programs for schools and help us plan for the future. For more information on the Alma Lee Legacy Fund please call 604-681-6330 ext 104. |
