Indigenous Development Program
PWRDF supports and accompanies Indigenous communities and organizations through our Indigenous Development Program.
In 2021, we developed the Responsive Program and grant application in consultation with our Indigenous Program Advisory Committee (IPAC). Indigenous-led communities or organizations are invited to apply for a grant from the Responsive Program in the amount of $5,000 to $15,000, for programming that supports safe water, youth engagement, community healthand/or climate action. We encourage applications for new initiatives or pilot projects.
Through this Responsive Program grant, PWRDF aims to grow our overall Indigenous Development Program and enhance our institutional relationships and partnerships with programs that are Indigenous-led and help us to learn from and with First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities across Canada.

Indigenous Development Program Background
The PWRDF Indigenous Development Program promotes partnerships based on recognition, respect and support for the rights and wellbeing of the Indigenous partners.
PWRDF Indigenous work responds to:
the needs and priorities identified by Indigenous partners and by the 1996 Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) report.
the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
the Recommendations of the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action.
The Indigenous Development Program was designed with the information from a series of visits and consultations to Indigenous partners in late 1996 and early 1997. Further consultations in 2005 as part of the external evaluation to the program, as well as during the 2006 face-to-face Indigenous partners conference in Ontario and the 2011 Indigenous Partners Roundtable in Alberta reaffirmed the program responds to needs and priorities in Indigenous communities.
PWRDF will continue to support Indigenous programs and communities as per one of our five goals in our 2019 – 2024 Strategic Plan, namely, “to accompany and support First Nations, Métis and Inuit people on our mutual path of reconciliation.”
In 2020, PWRDF established the Indigenous Program Advisory Committee (IPAC) to provide guidance and advice to staff on ways by which to support priorities of Indigenous communities and organizations across Canada. PWRDF is working hard to secure new venues of funding to our Indigenous Development Program as result of current strategic discussions and alliances with other financial and funding organizations, and Anglicans in Canada.
Indigenous Development Program Goals
To support programming in Canada that promotes community health, youth engagement, safe water and climate justice.
To foster respectful relationship, collaboration and understanding
Partnership Principles
Recognition, respect and support for the rights, according to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), of PWRDF’s Indigenous partners.
