We Matter is accepting applications for the #IndigenousYouthRise Support Fund Grant, which provides up to $2,000 for Indigenous youth-led projects that strengthen community wellness across Canada.
The grant is open to Indigenous youth ages 13 to 30 who are developing projects that support healing, connection, leadership and positive change in their communities. Funding may be used for a wide range of activities, including arts workshops, community gatherings, concerts, performances, educational seminars, webinars, storytelling projects and media initiatives.
Eligible projects may also include care packages, community contests, games, youth advocacy efforts and skills-building opportunities such as leadership development or mental health training. The program encourages youth to create projects that reflect the needs, strengths and cultures of their communities.
The #IndigenousYouthRise Support Fund is designed to help young people turn their ideas into action while building confidence, experience and stronger community connections.
Applications are due September 8, 2025.
