Who we are

Two organizations. One community.

The Digital Media Hub is one part of a larger ecosystem of BIPOC-led initiatives in Lethbridge — rooted in sport, culture, creativity, and shared opportunity.

Foundation

BIPOC Foundation

BIPOC Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Lethbridge dedicated to empowering Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour through community programs, cultural initiatives, economic opportunities, and accessible resources. The Digital Media & Creative Innovation Hub is one of their flagship projects — bringing professional creative infrastructure directly to the community.

Sport & Community

Da Mazing Lions FC

Da Mazing Lions is a BIPOC-founded soccer club in Lethbridge built on inclusion, community pride, and love of the game. More than a club — it's a gathering point for families and young people from across Lethbridge's diverse communities. The Lions represent what's possible when a community comes together around a shared purpose and refuses to let barriers define them.

Programs & initiatives

What we run in the community.

Beyond the studio, BIPOC Foundation runs programs that build skills, support livelihoods, and invest in the next generation of leaders and creators.

Employment

STEP Program

The Student & Youth Employment Program connects young people with real work experience, skills training, and paid opportunities through community partnerships. STEP is designed to reduce barriers and give the next generation a running start — building confidence, resumés, and futures.

Arts

Arts & Culture Grants

Funding and support for BIPOC artists and creators to produce, exhibit, and share their work. Grants remove financial barriers so that creative talent in the community has the resources it needs to grow, be seen, and tell its own story.

Mentorship

Mentorship Program

Connecting community members with experienced mentors across business, arts, technology, and trades. Our program pairs people with guides who understand the specific challenges and opportunities that BIPOC individuals face — and who have walked the path themselves.

Business

Entrepreneur & Business Support

Resources, coaching, and connections for BIPOC-owned businesses and entrepreneurs. From early-stage ideas to established ventures, the foundation helps community members build sustainable, community-rooted livelihoods on their own terms.

Youth

Youth Programming

Dedicated programs for young people in Lethbridge — from after-school creative activities and workshops to leadership development and community service. Investing in youth is at the heart of everything BIPOC Foundation does.

BIPOC Foundation is situated on the unceded, traditional and ancestral Siksikaitsitapii (Blackfoot) Confederacy territory, Nations of Treaty No. 7, and the historical regional homeland of the Metis. We pay respect to the past, present and future Indigenous Peoples who steward the land while recognizing and respecting their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship to the land.
