About these grants

Grant objectives and outcomes

The funding will support projects that empower Aboriginal communities to strengthen social bonds and promote emotional health. Projects should focus on enhancing the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal people through practical activities such as day trips, camps, workshops, training, after-school programs, and community gatherings.
