Building Governance Capacity

Applications are no longer being accepted for this program

The Building Governance Capacity program was developed in 2007 with funding from the Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. The intent of the program was to assist local governments and First Nations that have an established working relationship to address specific capacity gaps related to governance issues.

Matching grants of up to $25,000 were available to support activities that helped local governments and First Nations to work together on common governance-related issues, to participate in capacity building activities or events that address the issues and, at the same time, build governance management skills, knowledge, abilities and understanding.

Applicants with currently funded projects should refer to the Program & Application Guide for reporting requirements.

Please e-mail complete application packages and all reports to lgps@ubcm.ca.
