The Alma Lee Legacy Fund
In 2006 the Vancouver International Writers Festival created an
endowment fund celebrating the accomplishments of its founder,
Alma Lee. The fund has grown to more than $900,000, thanks
to many generous donations from individuals and matching
contributions from our government partners—the Province of
British Columbia, through the BC Arts Renaissance Fund, and the
Department of Canadian Heritage. The fund will increase our ability
to present international writers of signifi cant stature to Festival
audiences, develop Spreading the Word programs for schools and
help us plan for the future. For more information on the Alma Lee
Legacy Fund, please call 604.681.6330, ext 104.
