On Thursday, May 24th VANCOUVER+acumen is hosting DIGNITY Vancouver - a photography exhibition and auction that raises funds and awareness for Acumen Fund, a not-for-profit venture fund eradicating global poverty.

The event is hosted in Vancouver Urban Winery‘s stunning space in Gastown and event highlights include incredible food from local-restaurateurs, beautiful photography for live and silent auction and a keynote from Seattle-based DIGNITY 2012 poster photographer, Kirk Mastin.

ABOUT DIGNITY
DIGNITY has been hosted 12 times in 10 cities around the world raising over $150K for Acumen Fund. In 2011, DIGNITY Vancouver raised $13K and was attended by 250+ Vancouver-based professionals interested in social innovation, international development, photography and art.
WHERE THE FUNDS GO
Minus our expenses, which we do our absolute best (believe us) to keep to a minimum, 100% of all ticket proceeds and on-site event sales go directly to Acumen Fund. 50% of all photo sales go to Acumen Fund with 25% to support Nuru Project and 25% to support the photographer of the print.
