Overview of Athlii Gwaii Legacy Grants

We are not currently accepting applications for the Athlii Gwaii Legacy Grant Programs.

Athlii Gwaii Legacy Grant Programs

The Athlii Gwaii Legacy grant program is based on three Rs – Renewables, Revitalization, and Restoration. While the Gwaii Trust Society grants typically support shorter duration projects, projects supported by the Athlii Gwaii Legacy grants will be multi-year endeavors. This will enable a more stable commitment to projects that will be bigger in scope.

Renewables

Athlii Gwaii Legacy Renewables Grant follows Swiilawiid’s ‘The People’s Clean Energy Declaration for Haida Gwaii’ and supports the transformation of our Island’s electrical systems to clean and renewable energy. We are partnering with the Haida Gwaii Solutions Table through a collaborative process on all project applications under this grant, reflecting the belief that sustainable change is achieved through partnership and empowerment, not prescriptive solutions.
