about
The Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation provides funding to stimulate and invigorate non–profit organizations in the cultural and creative arts and the social services who serve communities throughout British Columbia and the Yukon.
The modest grants are given so that groups may undertake programs andor projects that would not be possible otherwise, or require additional financial assistance.
Additionally, students from British Columbia who wish to pursue their pre–professional studies in the performing and/or visual arts at institutions around the world can receive funding through The Leon and Thea Koerner Foundation Award in the Fine and Performing Arts of the Foundation.
