We receive space for our programs at no cost from the Univeristy, but we are required to secure funds via tuition and fundraising for other costs including: * staff salaries & benefits * payments to instructors * production & distribution of 3 course calendars/year * other advertising & promotion costs * Board and Committee expenses * Newsletters * Etc. I have cc'd this to M Gratien Allaire, the CATALIST President, so that he can let you know how the U3A at Universite Laurentienne is funded. You might want to consider joining CATALIST to provide you with a network of older older adult learning programs across Canada that may be able to provide useful suggestions as you work on your programs.

Hi, I have been hired as project manager for the Université du troisième âge du Nord-Ouest (UTANO) du Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada. The project is a study to identify a physical training course (model) for the members (50 years+) of the organisation. Furthermore, I have to find a funding model that would go along the physical training course offering. I have a few questions that would be helpful in working this project. Does your organization receive funding from your local, provincial, state, or federal government in your Old Age Learning Activities offering? If so, on what basis is the amount allowed? Do you have a foundation that helps financially in courses offering? Any other information would be appreciated.
