Fund Type
We will fund Indigenous communities, governments and organizations that are exploring ways to improve Indigenous Early Learning and Child Care (IELCC).
We will fund projects that aim to achieve at least one of the following objectives: defining what high-quality Indigenous ELCC means to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. This could include: designing governance models that support Indigenous-led ELCC decision-making; testing different ways of developing partnerships, and designing ways to measure results and success; finding ways to support ongoing education and training for IELCC leaders, management, and staff building and strengthening local IELCC licensing rules and procedures, and making tools and training that support IELCC staff who work with children with special needs.
