The Charles Morin Fund was created by Compagnie Vox Théâtre in 2008-09 to help underprivileged francophone children and teenagers from Ontario participate in artistic and theatrical activities designed to stimulate their imagination, build their self-confidence, help them solve problems and improve their quality of life. The fund operates thanks to the generosity of donors and Vox Théâtre’s own fundraising activities.
Charles Morin, who served on the board of directors of Vox Théâtre for fifteen years, was passionate about arts and culture. In 2008, he lost his battle to cancer. With the consent and support of his family, VOX created the Charles Morin Fund to honour his memory, both as a great champion for artists and as a strong advocate for the rights of Franco-Ontarians and the well-being of children.
Underprivileged children access shows, workshops, and courses.
Young artists from French-speaking communities in Ontario develop their knowledge of youth theatre.

Your donation will allow :
Applicants to the Charles Morin Fund must be Franco-Ontarian and under the age of eighteen. They must also show a genuine desire to participate in an arts programme but not have the financial means to do so. Individuals and groups (including parents, guardians, schools, and community groups) may request financial assistance.
Generally, financial assistance should not exceed 50% of the registration or participation fee for the activity. However, a higher percentage could be granted. In such cases, applications will be assessed on an individual basis. Amounts are allocated based on the need of the applicant and the funds available. A person can receive a maximum of two grants per year.
Applicants must complete the application form before the artistic activity takes place. Individuals must complete sections 1 and 2 of the form. Groups and schools must complete section 3. Information: 613 241-1090 or admin@voxtheatre.ca.
VOX Théâtre and its board of directors are happy to announce the launch of the VOX Théâtre – MARIE-THÉ MORIN Grant. With this grant, VOX Théâtre is committed to supporting authors from the Franco-Ontarian community in the creation of new texts for young audiences.
This writing support grant can take different forms, from supporting text development, to exploration and public readings. In addition to a $1,500 financial support, the recipient will receive coaching from VOX Théâtre (depending on the needs of the project).
To be eligible for this grant, the applicant must be a new or established artist, live in Ontario, work on the development of a theatre project in French over the next year, and not have already received this grant.
