Reconciliation Action Grant

Overview of the Reconciliation Action Grant program:

Launched in September 2022, this initiative redistributes the proceeds from HBC Point Blanket sales to support Indigenous-led activities and events. The program funds initiatives that elevate Indigenous cultures, languages, and traditions, bridge understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and drive reconciliation through community engagement, culture, art, and education.

Eligibility criteria of the Reconciliation Action Grant program:

• Eligible Applicants: Indigenous educators, cultural creators, community leaders, Elders, youth, artists, and non-Indigenous organizations if all funds support Indigenous communities.
• Eligible Projects: Initiatives that directly impact Indigenous people, including cultural, artistic, and educational activities that bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together.
• Ineligible: For-profit entities, fundraising projects, or activities started before the grant is awarded.
