Canadian Parents for French (CPF)<\/h1>\n

Funding opportunities for public schools offering French Immersion or Core French<\/h2>\n

The Culture en classe program, administered by Canadian Parents for French \u2013 British Columbia & Yukon (CPF BC & YK), provides eligible schools with financial assistance to organize educational activities delivered entirely in French.<\/p>\n

Up to $1,000 per visit<\/h3>\n

Each eligible school may receive up to $1,000 per visit, regardless of grade level or program type.<\/p>\n

This funding can be used to bring Profaqua to your school and provide students with an interactive science experience delivered entirely in French.<\/p>\n

Additional travel assistance of up to $200<\/h3>\n

In addition to funding of up to $1,000 per visit, CPF BC & YK\u2019s Culture en classe program may provide additional travel assistance of up to $200 per visit.<\/p>\n

This additional funding is intended, in part, to make French-language educational activities more accessible to schools in remote areas.<\/p>\n

The amount awarded depends on the school\u2019s location and the terms established by CPF BC & YK.<\/p>\n

An eligible school could therefore receive total funding of up to $1,200 per visit if both the maximum activity funding and the maximum travel assistance are approved.<\/p>\n

Who is eligible for the program?<\/h3>\n

The Culture en classe program is available to public schools offering:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • French Immersion<\/li>\n
  • Core French<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Activities must be delivered entirely in French.<\/p>\n

    Francophone schools within the Conseil scolaire francophone (CSF) are not eligible for this program. Private schools are also ineligible.<\/p>\n

    How many visits are available?<\/h3>\n

    French Immersion schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Schools may receive funding for two visits over a two-year period. Both visits may take place during the same school year or be spread across the two years.<\/p>\n

    Core French schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Schools may receive funding for one visit over a two-year period.<\/p>\n

    How can you use this funding with Profaqua?<\/h3>\n

    If your school would like to welcome Profaqua through CPF funding, here is how to get started:<\/p>\n

    1. Contact Profaqua<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Get in touch with us to choose your science workshop, preferred date, and activity arrangements.<\/p>\n

    2. Profaqua connects you with CPF<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once your project has been outlined, Profaqua will put your school in direct contact with CPF BC & YK, which can confirm your eligibility for the program.<\/p>\n

    3. CPF confirms your eligibility<\/strong><\/p>\n

    CPF will contact your school and provide the information needed to complete the funding application.<\/p>\n

    4. Finalize your activity with Profaqua<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once funding has been approved, your school and Profaqua will coordinate the details of the activity.<\/p>\n

    5. CPF confirms its contribution<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Profaqua will provide CPF with the estimated cost of the activity. CPF will then confirm the maximum amount of funding it will contribute.<\/p>\n

    What if the activity costs more than $1,000?<\/h3>\n

    CPF funding can be combined with other sources of funding.<\/p>\n

    If the total cost of the activity exceeds the amount approved by CPF, the school can cover the difference or use another funding source.<\/p>\n

    Profaqua can issue separate invoices to CPF and the school, according to the arrangements agreed upon.<\/p>\n

    Important information<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • The funding application must be submitted by the school. Service providers cannot apply on the school\u2019s behalf.<\/li>\n
    • Funding is intended for activities delivered entirely in French.<\/li>\n
    • CPF generally does not provide deposits before the activity takes place.<\/li>\n
    • CPF pays eligible invoices within up to 30 days after the activity.<\/li>\n
    • Schools may combine CPF funding with other sources of funding.<\/li>\n
    • Additional travel assistance of up to $200 per visit may be available, depending on the school\u2019s location and CPF eligibility criteria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
