Requests for Proposals: Identification of Leading Equity Funding Practices | |
SaskCulture has opened two Requests for Proposals for upcoming work to create Secondary Research and Literature Reviews that will inform the broader work of SaskCulture’s multi-phase program renewal activities.
With these Requests for Proposals, SaskCulture is looking for external consultants or agencies to provide detailed written reports that identify Leading Equity Funding Practices on two areas: Supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Cultural Engagement; and
Supporting People with Disabilities Cultural Engagement.
The deadline for proposals is on December 8 for both listings. SaskCulture seeks to be an equitable organization. Priority will be given to groups or individuals that experience barriers to full participation in SaskCulture’s network, systems and structures.
