Indigenous Resilience and Recovery Grant Initiative
The Indigenous Resilience and Recovery Grant (IRR Grant) provides funding to Indigenous non-profit organizations that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and continue to face funding and operational challenges in their post-pandemic recovery. For indigenous led non profit organizations, these challenges are even more pronounced in the context of pre-existing barriers and inequities that inhibit growth, funding certainty, and program & service delivery.
To support B.C. Indigenous non-profit organizations to address critical gaps in their funding, operational and program delivery, the IRR Grant initiative has been created to deliver a collaborative and flexible funding model that distinguishes each indigenous organizations’ unique path towards resiliency and recovery within their own context.
The IRR Grant is indigenous-led and was funded and developed in partnership with the B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction through the Vancouver Foundation.
The IRR Grant will provide non-repayable grant contributions to Indigenous not-for-profit organizations in response to the economic impacts of COVID-19.
The goal of the IRR Grant initiative is to:
- Deliver multi-year and flexible funding to indigenous not for profit organizations for pandemic related recovery support; and
- Enhance the organizational and economic resilience of indigenous not for profit organizations during their post-pandemic recovery journey.
