Community Project Funding

The Department of Culture and Heritage provides funding to non-profit community-based organizations, individuals, and municipal corporations that direct their efforts to the promotion, protection, revitalization, and preservation of Nunavut’s culture, heritage and official languages.

The Grants and Contributions Policy is based on the following principles:

1. Programs support the growth of community capacity, independence and self-reliance;
2. Programs and services support the values, knowledge, beliefs and cultural distinctiveness of the people of Nunavut;
3. Partnerships will respect the Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit guiding principles of:
• Pijitsirniq (to serve and provide for community);
• Aajiiqatigiinniq (arriving at a decision through discussion and consensus);
• Piliriqatigiinniq (working together for a common cause); and,
• Qanuqtuurniq (being innovative and resourceful).
4. All roles and responsibilities are clearly defined, and the process is open and transparent to the public.
