Líl̓wat Nation Community Grant Program Design

Introduction

During August 2021, Líl̓wat Nation members completed the COVID-19 Spending Plan survey. As a result, there was great support for a Líl̓wat Nation Community Grant Program. This program will provide Líl̓wat Nation members with an opportunity to apply for funding to host events.

Líl̓wat Nation needs your help in creating this program. By completing this survey, your input will be seen in the creation of this program from the eligibility criteria to the selection criteria, and everything in-between.

The goal is to present this to the Chiefs and Council by December 14th, 2021 for approval. Therefore, the deadline for this survey is November 19th, 2021.
