Overview
Starting in 2024-2025, through the Call to Action 50 (CTA 50) Funding, the Government of Canada proposes to invest $5.5M over three years to provide opportunities for Indigenous governments, communities, organizations and academic institutions to carry out projects to revitalize Indigenous laws and legal traditions.
Justice Canada is launching an anticipatory call for proposals for project applications that will support initiatives dedicated to advance the development, use and understanding of Indigenous laws .
Funding would be available through the Indigenous Justice Program (IJP), which provides grants and contribution funding to programs and projects in support of the following objectives:
to assist Indigenous people in assuming greater responsibility for the administration of justice in their communities;
to reflect and include Indigenous values within the justice system.
How to Apply for Funding
To request an application form, please contact the Indigenous Justice Program at: ijp-pja@justice.gc.ca
All final applications for funding must be submitted online by September 27, 2024, 11:59 PM PDT.
Once submitted, within 7 calendar days applicants will receive an acknowledgement of the funding application. If you do not receive an acknowledgment email, please contact the Indigenous Justice Program at ijp-pja@justice.gc.ca
Funding Decisions
As funding is limited, all eligible applications may not be approved.
Funding decisions will be communicated by email to the contacts identified in the Application Form. We expect decisions on applications in winter 2024/25.
If your project is approved, you will be contacted for next steps. A funding agreement must be signed with the Department of Justice before project activities can begin. In addition, recipients of funding will be required to seek permission from the Department of Justice prior to any public announcement of the funding.
