The Transforming Systems Grants (TSG) is intended to support organizations that prioritize intersectionality, allyship and mutual liberation in their efforts to challenge oppressive systems. These grants of $300,000 offer flexible, operational funding for three years to qualified donees, registered non-profit societies and community co-operatives operating in BC.

This program provides strategic capacity-building funding. Funding can be used to create new projects, enhance existing programs, or improve group operations for Indigenous-led food systems and food security initiatives that act as disruptors to known systemic barriers. Projects funded are intended to act as catalysts to generate positive change that supports Indigenous peoples’ self-determination over their food systems, and their participation in the food and agriculture sectors. Supports eligible expenses up to $200,000. Maximum amount approved will depend on project demand and impact
