Fund Type

Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) recognizes that not all Indigenous groups, communities or peoples have the same readiness or resources to exercise jurisdiction under the act. As part of the Government of Canada's funding commitment to support the implementation of the act, funding is available to support Indigenous groups, communities and peoples and their Indigenous governing body wishing to: explore readiness to exercise jurisdiction; develop Indigenous child and family service legislation, systems, and programs prior to entering into coordination agreement discussions.

Capacity-building funding is meant to support section 35 rights-holding Indigenous groups and their mandated Indigenous governing body as they work within and across their communities to build strong foundations in preparation for their participation in coordination agreement discussions. Funding for permanent structures for the implementation of Indigenous laws, models, programs and service delivery will be discussed through the coordination agreement discussion process.
