[Canada-Wide] TELUS Indigenous Communities Fund (deadline: Oct 7, 2026)

The ICF provides one-time grants to Indigenous-led organizations such as Band Councils, Indigenous Governments or representative groups, community groups and non-profits.

Non-Indigenous-led organizations can apply if they demonstrate a clear and tangible relationship with an Indigenous organization and have documented support from an Indigenous-led organization or community.

Eligible organizations can apply once per calendar year. $5,000 - $25,000 grants are available to support Indigenous-led initiatives that support tangible positive outcomes.

Funding is available for projects focused on, but not limited to:

• Health, mental health and well-being
• Access to education and resources
• Preservation of the land and water
• Community building and enhancement
• Intergenerational language and cultural revitalization

Preference may be given to programs where technology is being used to advance reconciliation.
