Description
This initiative helps to partially offset declines in own-source revenues due to COVID-19. This funding will help First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities continue to provide core community programs and important services to their members.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many Indigenous communities to experience a decline in own-source revenue. Because of this reduction in own-source revenue, many communities have faced challenges in providing - or have been unable to provide - important programs and services to their community members. The Own-Source Revenue in Indigenous Communities Initiative (OSRICI) is providing $ 332.8 million in funding to partially offset declines in own-source revenues so that First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities can continue to provide important community programs and services to their members.
