grant recipients – Wuchien Michael Than Foundation

Current Recipients

The new WMTFoundation Grant was announced in April 2023 along with the names of the 7 recipients as listed below. Under this program, each of these organizations will receive a specified amount annually over 3 consecutive years. The funds can be used in any way the organization deems appropriate. Grants will be reviewed every 3 years and, if deserving, may be extended repeatedly.

The following are some of our review considerations:

Production and development of new works by Asian-Canadian playwrights
Degree of involvement of Asian-Canadian artists in projects
Development of emerging Asian-Canadian artists
Co-production of Asian-Canadian theatre projects with smaller companies
Support and nurturing of theatre collectives with Asian-Canadian principals

It is our sincere hope that the continuing development of Asian Canadian theatre will eventually become an essential element of each participating company’s DNA.
