Eligible recipients are First Nation and Inuit community organizations, and other organizations they have mandated or designated to act on their behalf.
Eligible activities include:
INAC determines funding levels annually. INAC allocates funds through national and regional funding allocation methodologies that distribute the program budget to First Nation and Inuit communities based on factors such as population and number of communities in a region.
Potential recipients must submit an annual operational plan which includes a brief description of the projects and activities to be carried out with the funding allocation, the expected results and possible performance measures, a cost estimate of the projects and activities, and a monthly cash flow forecast.
Once a potential recipient has submitted an annual operational plan, INAC enters into a funding agreement with the recipient. The agreement requires the recipient to carry out the annual operational plan and report at the end of the year on the activities carried out and their results.
