AWAKENING GRANTS
WICC is Committed to Supporting Indigenous Women and Children via Awakening Grants.
Would you like to be part of this process?
Together, we can fund projects that provide support in the following areas:
- Addressing gender-based violence
- Economic justice, health
- Cultural education
- Child welfare
- Advocacy
- Anti-racism
- Peace
Projects will promote these values
- Cooperation
- Self-sufficiency
- The growth of Indigenous languages and cultures
- Awareness of underlying causes of suffering
- Empowerment of women
- The ability of women to develop their full potential
- Culturally safe education and training for Indigenous women
Awakening Grants are funded by sales of the limited edition prints of “Awakening,” a painting by Canadian artist David Alexander Risk. We thank him for donating this painting to WICC, and our board for its vision to use this gift to benefit Indigenous women in Canada.
