Specifically for First Nation’s land and resource agreements.
The maximum amount of funding available for a proposal submitted on behalf of one First Nation community or organization is $75,000. The maximum funding available for a regional proposal submitted on behalf of several First Nation communities (two or more) is $200,000.
All BC First Nations with an unresolved land claim are eligible to apply for funding. This includes First Nations both within and outside the BCTC process. Applications for funding may be made on behalf of a First Nation by its band office, tribal council, or representative First Nation organization.
