Description

Grant Program

We are inviting First Nations and schools to reach out for a GRANT APPLICATION.

Funds available for grants will be dependent on sales, (funds available will be $2.00 from each shirt sold from the “Children Going Home” and “Ally Shirt” campaigns).  and will be determined in mid-January from the previous year’s sales.

Funds from “Bear Paw”, campaign will remain going to the NCTR for programs of survivors.

We had the honour to have worked with the Orange Shirt Society for six years helping them raise awareness of the intergenerational harm caused by residential schools.

Over that time as awareness grew many organizations became involved and awareness of the harm of residential schools became well known.

We then decided we wanted our fundraising efforts to support the survivors of residential schools so for a couple of years we donated to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Over time we have become aware of the need of many indigenous communities, some with very small needs that we wanted to be able to help with. I.e., a field trip, learning materials, sports equipment, art supplies, etc.

We invite schools and first nations to reach out for a grant application for possible funding of their needs.

This beautiful 2021 Orange Shirt Day design was created by Shayne Hommy, a grade 11 student in Dawson Creek.

WHAT ORANGE SHIRT DAY MEANS TO ME
Orange Shirt Day means justice and awareness for Indigenous people to me. My Moosum attended Residential School so it means a lot to me that some I love and care about so much had to experience residential school.

WHAT MY DESIGN IS ABOUT
My design is three little indigenous girls from different tribes holding hands to represent the unity of our people (Indigenous People), resilience and strength throughout the many years of suffering Indigenous Peoples had to face.
