What it does

Basic Organizational Capacity funding supports basic administration costs and provides a minimum level of capacity so that organizations can advise the federal government of their members’ needs and interests. Basic operations such as salaries, rent and utilities are also covered. This program aligns to the result of “Indigenous peoples determine their political, economic, social and cultural development” by supporting Indigenous and Northern organizations, individuals and communities in controlling and managing their own affairs and interests based on collaboration and partnerships. Eligible recipients are recognized Indigenous organizations. These organizations must be incorporated, represent First Nations, Métis, Inuit, or Non-Status Indian communities or Indigenous Women and not be in receipt of core funding from other federal departments for the purpose of maintaining basic organizational capacity to represent or advocate for the interest of its members.
