Stemming from the Government of Canada’s 2023-2028 Action Plan for Official Languages through Canadian Heritage, the VIF Program, which stands for Programme de valorisation d’initiatives francophones (Francophone Initiatives Promotion Program), has as its main objective to fund initiatives that provide young people aged 14 to 30 with opportunities to come together, exchange, support one another, and engage in French in person.

 

With funding of up to $80,000, this initiative will support structuring projects related to linguistic security and offer youth aged 14 to 30 the opportunity to participate and express their creativity.

The VIF Program offers

Two funding streams

Grants for Organizations:

This component is intended for larger-scale initiatives led by non-profit organizations (NPOs), particularly those with a regional, provincial/territorial, or national impact.

MICRO-GRANTS FOR YOUTH

Youth aged 14 to 30 can apply for micro-grants to fund youth-led activities that promote connection within their communities in French.

Program Objectives

Create EXCHANGES with youth from different linguistic communities to foster cooperation and appreciation of Canada’s official languages. 

Increase SUPPORT for the learning and use of French in daily life, especially for youth whose first language is not French.
