Cooperative Foundations Cohort 6 includes two in-person events in Toronto: the kickoff and the wrap-up. We know that getting to Toronto costs money, especially if you're coming from outside the GTA. We have a travel fund to help with that!
|
|
|
|
### Who can request travel support
|
|
|
|
Any Ontario-based Cohort 6 participant who has travel costs to attend an in-person event in Toronto. This is individual-level—if your studio has multiple members who each need to travel, each person can submit their own request.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to be outside the city to qualify. If transit costs are a barrier for you, we can cover those.
|
|
|
|
### What's covered
|
|
|
|
* Transit fares (GO, VIA, local transit)
|
|
* Gas if you're driving (we use the CRA mileage rate, which is $0.73/km for 2026)
|
|
* Parking
|
|
* Rideshare if transit isn't accessible or practical for you
|
|
* Food and drinks along the way—coffee on the road, lunch before or after the event, whatever you need to make the trip work
|
|
* Accommodation if you need an overnight stay to attend (talk to us first so we can help sort it out)
|
|
|
|
Basically, if it's a reasonable cost of getting yourself to Toronto and back, it's covered.
|
|
|
|
### How much
|
|
|
|
Up to $200 per person per event. Our total travel fund for Cohort 6 is $2,000 across both events. If your actual costs are less than $200, we reimburse what you spent. If your costs come in higher, let us know - we may be able to increase the cap depending on overall demand.
|
|
|
|
### How to request it
|
|
|
|
After the event, send an email to [hello@babyghosts.org](mailto:hello@babyghosts.org) within 30 days with:
|
|
|
|
* Your name and studio name
|
|
* Which event you attended
|
|
* What you spent and a quick note on how you travelled
|
|
* Receipts if you have them, or a screenshot/photo of your transit fare, or a note of your round-trip distance if driving
|
|
|
|
### How you'll be reimbursed
|
|
|
|
E-transfer, sent within two weeks of receiving your request. We'll confirm the amount with you before sending.
|
|
|
|
### A few other things
|
|
|
|
You don't need to justify your request beyond the basics above. We won't ask why you can't cover it yourself. If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies, just ask. We'd rather you come to the event and sort out the details after than skip it because you weren't sure.
