Introduction

Alberta’s government is committed to building and strengthening partnerships that improve social and economic outcomes for Indigenous Peoples across the province, as we work together towards reconciliation.

Grants

  • Aboriginal Business Investment Fund

    The Aboriginal Business Investment Fund (ABIF) provides grants to Indigenous community-owned businesses so they can buy or improve the equipment and infrastructure they need to create jobs and continue building healthy, sustainable communities.

  • Indigenous Reconciliation Initiative

    The Indigenous Reconciliation Initiative (IRI) provides grants through cultural and economic funding streams to support Indigenous-led initiatives related to reconciliation.

    IRI cultural grants support initiatives that seek to enhance, protect or revitalize Indigenous languages, arts and cultures. IRI economic grants foster development opportunities by supporting strategic business planning, feasibility studies, economic assessments and more.

  • Community Support Fund

    The Community Support Fund (CSF) supports community-based initiatives that aim to address violence and increase the safety and economic security of Indigenous women, girls and two spirit plus people in Alberta.

  • First Nations Development Fund

    The First Nations Development Fund (FNDF) supports social, economic and community development projects in First Nations through revenue raised by government-owned slot machines in First Nations casinos.

  • Employment Partnerships Program

    The Employment Partnerships Program (EPP) supports Indigenous workforce development by providing funding to Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program agreement holders that increase Indigenous employment opportunities through training, support and partnership.
