Project Planning and Funding
BMO Collaboratorium projects are funded through community partnerships. During the planning process, we work with partners to identify project goals, determine an appropriate scope of work, and develop a budget that supports meaningful student involvement and successful project outcomes.
As every project is different, financial investments vary based on factors such as project complexity, timeline, student staffing requirements, and anticipated deliverables. Available funding helps guide the scale and duration of a project, and we work collaboratively with partners to develop an approach that is both realistic and impactful.
We welcome conversations with organizations and communities interested in exploring a potential partnership. To learn more about the BMO Collaboratorium and discuss your ideas, please Email PARCcollab@ufv.ca
