Call for Proposals – Food Security Initiatives

May 29, 2017

The Nunavut Food Security Coalition is now accepting funding proposals for projects that will address food security in Nunavut in 2017-18.

Non-profit organizations, societies and municipal organizations that carry out food security initiatives can apply for funding for projects that:

• contribute to the development and/or continuation of a food security project;
• enable members of the community to actively participate in the project; and
• reduce barriers to food access.

Priority will be given to projects that integrate educational components, such as skills development and training.

For an application package, please contact Tammy Boutilier, Territorial Food Security Coordinator at TBoutilier@gov.nu.ca or (867) 975-5213.

Please note the deadline to apply is June 26, 2017, at 5 p.m. (EDT).

The Nunavut Food Security Coalition is a collaborative group of Government departments, Inuit organizations, non-governmental organizations and the private sector working together to improve food security in Nunavut.
