Projects we support:
Fab Lab
is a community space for learning and creating with digital
fabrication tools (such as 3D printers and laser cutters).
We also make robotics and STEAM courses free for all kids
ages 6 to 18 on Salt Spring Island through our
Child and Youth STEAM programs. We are the sole funder of these programs, contributing
$200,000 annually.
Catalyst Grants:
Far too often an art project remains unfinished because the
artist lacks the funds and resources to complete it. To help
address this problem we created the Catalyst Grants, a
program that provides grants between $3k to $6k to artists
to help them finish their visual art. The Wilding Foundation
is the sole funder of this program, contributing $100,000
annually.
Salt Spring Arts Council: Promoting arts and culture
on Salt Spring Island.
GISS Robotics Club: Encouraging youth to engage in
robotics and technology.
Graffiti Theatre: Supporting local theatre and
performing arts.
