Tiny Bursary

The “Tiny Bursary” is intended to recognise and express gratitude towards individuals and/or teams working in the fields Disaster and Emergency Management (D&EM) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). This fund was designed with the idea that sometimes a small amount of money can go a long way. Ideas such as a new office fan, pizza party, volunteer shirts, stationary, a coffee machine, birthday cakes – anything that may express gratitude, improve the lives or working environment, fill a need, or bring joy to people working in the field! The bursary may recognise a team, or an individual.

Tiny Bursary will allow members to apply for up to $500.00 CAD. The award will be presented twice a year in May and November.
