and Maximize
Four Pillars Funding
The Four Pillars Settlement provides a long-term funding opportunity for First Nations to invest in language, culture, heritage, and wellness. To access these funds, each Nation must submit a 5-year strategic plan outlining how they will use the resources to preserve, protect, and promote these key areas.
At Okimaw Community and HR Solutions, we help First Nations develop and submit their strategic plans to unlock the full funding available. With $200,000 provided upfront for planning, we work with leadership, Elders, and community members to create a clear, actionable plan that aligns with your Nation’s vision and priorities.
How the Funding Works:
$200,000
$400,00

$440,000/yr
