ProtectMB Community
Outreach and Incentive Grants
Can you help get important information about vaccination to Manitobans who need it? And help get unvaccinated Manitobans to their local clinic? We want to work with you!
Join the #ProtectMB team and help connect your community to Manitoba’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign.
Grants of up to $20,000 will be available to Manitoba sport, religious, arts, cultural and community organizations, as well as businesses and schools. Applicants will need to demonstrate an established connection to one or more low-uptake communities, and will need to provide a detailed plan for how they will encourage vaccination and improve uptake rates.
How to apply
REGISTER and watch this information session about the program.
