Indigenous Engagement Fund

We are currently not accepting applications for the Indigenous Engagement Fund.

Overview

The Indigenous Engagement Fund is designed to support Indigenous communities, programs and organizations in actively participating in engagement activities on topics and issues related to the justice system.

The Fund supports Indigenous recipients in participating in time-limited initiatives and activities focused on the organization, development and implementation of engagement activities such as:

  • workshops, conferences and meetings
  • interviews and surveys

Who is eligible?

Any of the following may be eligible for funding under the Indigenous Engagement Fund:

  • First Nations, Inuit, Métis, Chiefs and Band Councils, Tribal Councils, local, regional and national Indigenous organizations

How to apply for funding

There is currently no open call for proposal process for this Fund. If you are interested in discussing a funding proposal, we encourage you to email the Indigenous Justice Program.

As the Indigenous Justice Program’s Indigenous Engagement Fund is a federally funded initiative, funding may be awarded based on geographic location to provide representation across Canada, when feasible and reasonable.
