Local Grants

Local grants may be available to non-profit organisations that are producing events involving Japanese artists, performers or filmmakers. Due to a decrease in funding, the Japan Foundation, Toronto will be offering a very limited number of local grants in the 2008-09 fiscal year. Please contact taoyagi@jftor.org for further information.
