ISCNWT Community Development Grant Program
The Indigenous Sport Circle NWT (ISCNWT) is now accepting applications for its Community Development Grant Program, a funding initiative designed to support recreation, sport development, and cultural activities that involve physical activity across the Northwest Territories.
This grant helps offset costs associated with community based programs and events that promote wellness, movement, and cultural connection.
Key Details:
- Application period (this year only): July 1 - July 31, 2025
- Regular intake windows: May 1-31 and November 1-30 (starting in 2026)
- Projects must take place in the NWT
- Multiple applications per community are welcome (for different projects)
- A letter of support from a Community Champion or organization is required
- A final report is required upon project completion
- Priority will be given to free, inclusive events that build capacity and benefit the entire community
Note, ISCNWT funding is intended to assist with costs, not fully fund a project. If you’ve previously received funding, you are welcome to apply again, but new applicants may be prioritized.
Ineligible Costs:
- Staff wages
- Per diems
- Cash prizes
This is a great opportunity for schools, sport groups, youth programs, and community leaders to access support for local movement, sport, or cultural events. Applications are only accepted during the intake window. Be sure to plan ahead!
