Biannual Theatre Grant Competition: Intercultural Conversations

The next deadline for the competition will be Friday, March 27, 2026 at 5pm.

The Cole Foundation is committed to celebrating the vibrant multi-cultural mosaic of Montreal, Quebec and the rest of world by supporting professional theatre that features the stories of different (racial, ethnic or religious) cultures.  We hold a bi-annual competition, awarding grant funding to the production, creation, and translation of plays that bring to the stage the voices of such cultures.

The deadline for spring 2026 is Friday, March 27th, at 5:00pm.

We will announce the results of the fall 2025 competition in December, after our Board sits.


We will announce the opening of the spring competition in early 2026
