Grant Description

Grants of up to $50,000 to USA, Canada, and International Indigenous and Native communities for crisis relief efforts, including projects related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Funding is intended to support vulnerable members of the community, such as families with young children, multi-generational households, and seniors. Eligible projects are Indigenous-led and community-based.

Flicker Fund Program responds to already vulnerable and stressed Indigenous communities on the frontlines of climate caused crisis and emergencies. It responds to critical needs ranging from the diverse and varying impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its rippling effects, to climate fires and drought, as well as other disasters that devastate Indigenous Peoples, communities and Nations and that impact their ability to live healthy, safe, and vibrant lives.

The Flicker Fund implements its work through the following pathways to assure Indigenous families, clans, communities, and Nations not only survive, but can thrive:

Basic And Urgent Health focusing on essential needs for wellness, sanitation and hygiene, of the most vulnerable with a focus on elders, multi-generational households and families with children under the age of five years old.
Historic and Cultural Teachings including – as appropriate – the sharing of prophecies, stories, and lifeways that advance traditional knowledge systems informing community members on health, healing, survival and thriving strategies, and moving forward with vitality.
Traditional Healing Practices and Remedies supporting growing and cultivation of medicinal food systems, and culturally-relevant strategies for immune support.
