MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, Feb. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PATTISON Outdoor’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee is proud to announce a call for submissions from not-for-profit organizations for a second year of the Elevating Voices Grant program after a successful launch in 2023. With the same mission of assisting not-for-profit organizations working with marginalized groups, PATTISON’s DEI Committee is looking forward to another year of amplifying diverse voices throughout Canada. Up to $1 million of media value will be awarded to selected charities and organizations with a mandate for diversity, equity and inclusion. This will help raise the profile and awareness of these organizations to help further their initiatives in various communities across all regions at a local and national level.
In 2023, the Elevating Voices Grant assisted seven organizations with their OOH campaigns; comprised of three national partners and four regional partners.
- Artists Against Racism
- The Forum
- Canadian Mental Health Association
- Outside Looking In
