Launching Tuesday, August 26, 2025!
The launch of the Supporting Indigenous Women’s and 2SLGBTQI+ Organizations Program National Call for Concepts, administered by Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC).
This call for new projects aims to fund and support activities that bolster Indigenous women's and 2SLGBTQI+ organizations to increase their ability to engage with community to determine needs, interests, gaps and priorities and work with levels of government to advance these grassroots perspectives and priorities in all areas of decision-making that impact their lives.
Applications for the 2026 to 2027 fiscal year will follow a two-stage process, beginning with the submission of a concept note.
Concept submissions will be accepted from August 26 to September 26, 2025.
If your concept is selected, you will be invited to submit a full proposal in October 2025.
