Also the proposition to increase the membership from $10 to $20 have been rejected....

NIJFA will continue to address support in grants from the actual donors: Heritage Canada, the City of Nanaimo, TD Bank. We will also send requests to BC Gaming, Creative BC and any other group, private or public.
