Inspiration

“This is not about altruism. This is about like minded people creating alliances of hope and change. In these kinds of alliances, everybody is a donor and everybody is a recipient.”

Goals and Objectives

 
The goal of CAGC is to connect with and support the empowerment of First Nations, Inuit and Métis nations, communities and individuals in building a stronger, healthier future. It will serve as an open network to promote philanthropy (giving, sharing and social investing). To bring this goal to life, we will gather from four directions to:
  1. Strengthen the level, innovation and community reach of financial and human investments. 
  2. Nurture conversations, connections and relationships among First Peoples and philanthropic organizations.
  3. Recognize deeply rooted injustices and model respect for First Nation, Inuit and Métis cultures, practices and institutions. 
  4. Broaden and deepen public knowledge, including the history of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.  
  5. Support the flourishing of Indigenousmodels of philanthropy.
  6. Promote and strengthen First Nations, Inuit and Métis participation in the governance and decision-making of philanthropic organizations.
