The UBC community is invited to apply for the Strategic Equity & Anti-Racism (StEAR) Enhancement Fund this fall. A total of $300,000 is available to support student-, faculty-, and staff-led initiatives that advance UBC’s equity and anti-racism priorities across UBC Vancouver and UBC Okanagan. Applicants may submit a proposal for funding between $500 to $10,000 per project.
What’s new this year: Applications are now separate for faculty and staff-led projects, and for student-led projects, which were previously combined.
The first call for faculty- and staff-led applications opens on September 15 and closes on October 15, 2025. Details for the student funding stream will be announced by early October 2025.
