Donate to the Travel Subsidy Program

Help your colleagues get to Kjipuktuk / Halifax for PACTcon 2025

Each year, the generosity of PACT members allows us to provide a number of travel subsidies to help folks with limited travel budgets attend PACTcon, our annual gathering. This means more voices joining the conversation.

The PACT Travel Subsidy Program relies primarily on donations from member companies and individuals in and beyond the membership. The amount of support we can offer depends on the contributions we receive, so your contribution is crucial to the program's success.

Last year, the program helped pay the travel expenses of a record 33 attendees.

"The PACTcon Travel Subsidy Program allowed me to travel from Vancouver to Montreal for the 2024 conference, representing Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre. It was particularly important for me as the new AD of the organization to be able to connect with other leaders and organizations at this national event. My attendance at the conference would not have been possible without the Travel Subsidy Program. Thank you!"

-Derek Chan, Managing Artistic Director, Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre (vAct)
