Healing and Reconciliation - Second Collection – November 9/10
The Indigenous Reconciliation Fund was established to accept donations from 73 Catholic Dioceses across the country, and to advance healing and reconciliation initiatives, fulfilling the $30 million financial commitment made by Canada’s Bishops in September 2021. The Diocese of Kamloops commitment is $150,000 over five years.
Thank you again for your generosity in the past few years and please be generous again this year in our collective desire to support this most worthy cause and to assist our Indigenous brothers and sisters in their healing.
The fund seeks to support projects that are determined locally, in collaboration with First Nations, Métis and Inuit partners. The Indigenous Reconciliation Fund has established the following criteria for grant applications:
Healing and reconciliation for communities and families;
Culture and language revitalization;
Education and community building;
and Dialogues for promoting indigenous spirituality and culture.
The fund has been designed to meet the highest standards of transparency and good governance and is overseen by a Board of Directors made up of Indigenous leaders.
