Deadline: 1-Mar-23
The Gwaii Trust Society is now seeking applications for Special Projects Grant to provide grant funding for strategic projects that don’t fit into the typical granting streams and fall outside the annual budgets.
Special Projects grants support projects that are large in scale, of all Island benefit, and align with the strategic priorities of Gwaii Trust and Haida Gwaii.
How much money is available?
- This grant stream is subject to availability of funds.
- No maximum application amount.
- Maximum request is 50% of total project costs.
Eligible uses of the grant
- Individual project eligibility is determined by Gwaii Trust at its sole discretion.
- Strategic, broadly supported projects that address community challenges or take advantage of unique opportunities that have significant positive impacts on Haida Gwaii.

- At least 50% of project funding must come from sources other than Gwaii Trust.
- Eligible costs include direct costs that are necessary for the successful implementation of the project.
- Applicants must demonstrate that they have the ability to complete the project and sustainably operate the completed project.
