[Canada-wide] Silver Gummy Indigenous Grant

Indigenous Grant

As part of our commitment to reconciliation, the Silver Gummy Foundation has committed to building relationships with Indigenous organizations whose mandate is to help re-build positive gender identities for Indigenous youth through the reclamation of culture, epistemology and youth driven participatory approaches to change.

We recognize that change is only possible when research institutions, community programming, schools and youth have reciprocal relationships of teaching and learning.

We are now accepting applications on an ongoing basis.

Apply for our Indigenous Grant

The Silver Gummy Foundation is looking to support Indigenous stream projects. Up to $15,000 will be granted for first time requests and repeat Grantees are eligible for up to $50,000 per project for one year. Project extensions do not need to be new. Applicants may apply for bridge funding to expand upon successfully demonstrated projects.

Applications will be assessed by a review panel following the timelines below. The review panel consists a representative group of 5 respected and recognized Elders or Knowledge Keepers from the Calgary urban community, Treaty 6, 7 and 8, and Métis Nation of Alberta.

All decisions will be final. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified with considerations for future applications.
