What We Do
We provide funding to First Nations individuals, communities, and organizations for education, healing, and cultural revitalization. Our programs support training, post-secondary studies, traditional knowledge-sharing, and reconciliation projects that strengthen identity and community well-being.
Who We Are
The Future Generations Foundation is a First Nations led charitable trust established in 1975 by First Nations leaders. Guided by a national Board of Trustees, we’re dedicated to advancing the strength, resilience, and prosperity of First Nations, now and for future generations.
How We Work
As stewards of the residual funds from the Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement (IRSSA), we ensure equitable access to resources that directly benefit First Nations people. Every decision we make is guided by First Nations values, community priorities, and a commitment to self-determined solutions.
