If you are interested in hosting your own N + F-style event, there is an opportunity to be awarded a microgrant (of up to $350 per applicant). You are eligible to apply if you have attended two (2) or more Nourish + Flourish events and submit an application of interest.

Students selected will also be required to attend a 60-minute coaching session on facilitation skills, accessibility, and inclusion as well as provided a kit of decorations and assistance booking space on-campus if needed.

Accountability and recognition

Recipients are required to provide a report back on their event in the form of:

Recipients may also be asked to share photos or videos of their initiative and are invited to participate in social media campaigns or UVic news stories. Participation in these activities is not required.
