Description
The Take a Family on the Land Program is designed to offset the costs associated with on-the-land activities, so more NWT residents can experience them, as families.
Overview
Families will participate in outdoor learning experiences that encompass northern perspectives, like camping, boating, fishing and hunting, storytelling, wood cutting and sharing traditional knowledge. The program is intended for families who may not have other resources to support land-based activities.
For the purpose of this program, a family is broadly defined as any two or more people who share mutual ties and play an important role in each other’s lives. They do not have to be legally related. All family combinations, including 2SLGBTQIPA+ families, single-parent families and multigenerational families are considered eligible.
Available Funding
Organizations can apply for up to $10,000 (including administration fee).
Deadline
June 22, 2024
Funding must be spent by March 31, 2025, and activities must take place between April 2024 and March 2025.
Applications received after the application deadline will not be considered.
Eligibility
Any NWT Indigenous government or organization, community/municipal government or not-for-profit association can apply for funding to support their community/clients, provided they are eligible to enter into a contribution agreement from the GNWT.
