The Board of Directors of the Shevchenko Foundation met in Winnipeg on 1–2 June, 2007  to deal with the ongoing work of the Foundation.  Once again, the Board was overwhelmed by the robust activities, projects and proposals submitted by the community and the number they were able to support.

For the first time in the history of the Foundation, the $300,000 allocated for supporting the work of the community was reached during this first round of submissions.  As a result no applications will be considered this Fall with the next deadline for applications being April 2008.
