Background

In 1994, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress of Saskatchewan founded the Community Development Fund to support Saskatchewan Ukrainian arts, cultural, educational, heritage, and youth activities in our Hromada (community). From 2000-2013, the CDF has distributed over $264,000 in grants.

In 2014, UCC Saskatchewan launched its new grant program, the Hromada Legacy Fund of Saskatchewan.

The Hromada Legacy Fund of Saskatchewan name pays homage to our Ukrainian community’s roots and heritage while reflecting our unique cultural identity. “Hromada” in the Ukrainian language means community and the term “legacy” refers not only to something that is received from the past but also refers to that which we leave for future generations.

The creation of this new grant program demonstrates UCC Saskatchewan’s ongoing commitment to its members. UCC Saskatchewan is looking to the future! By investing in our members today, they can acquire the knowledge and resources to continue building a culturally dynamic Ukrainian community in Saskatchewan for generations to come.
