True North Aid funds initiatives related to education and cultural revitalization, food sovereignty, holistic well-being, and access to essential resources. Past examples range from language revitalization and cultural reclamation programs to community gardens, mental health workshops, youth programming, and on-the-land activities.
Funding: Two grants of $25,000
Application window: September 2–October 9, 2026
