A message from Sara-Jane Finlay, Associate Vice-President, Equity & Inclusion
UBC is committed to advancing equity and inclusion across the university, and inclusion is a key theme in UBC’s strategic plan. The Equity Enhancement Fund enables faculty, staff, and students to play an active role in this effort by providing them with up to $25,000 in funding for community-based, collaborative projects.
Please encourage those in your Faculties, departments, and units to submit a proposal by February 28 and take part in advancing inclusive excellence and fostering an equitable and inclusive community.
Proposals should build faculty, staff, and student competencies related to issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion through community-engaged activities. Proposals should also aim to deliver observable and/or measurable benefits to the representation or experiences of historically disadvantaged groups within the UBC community.
For more information and to submit a proposal, visit:
- UBC Vancouver: equity.ubc.ca/eef
- UBC Okanagan: equity.ok.ubc.ca/eef
Information session
An information session will be held on the Vancouver campus and will be live-streamed in the Okanagan on February 13 to provide an opportunity to learn more about the Equity Enhancement Fund and inclusion efforts at UBC.

If you have questions regarding this fund, or equity and inclusion generally, please email: eef@equity.ubc.ca.
