Financial Resources
We are pleased to share a number of funding resources for First Nations and municipalities – both at the provincial and national level – to support your community’s economic development planning and initiatives.
In order to keep our list current, we invite you to contact us directly (see contact information below) if you have information on or suggestions for other relevant funding opportunities to add to our growing list.
Please let us know directly if your community is able to take advantage of funding from this list as we would like to follow the success of all joint economic development projects across the country.

Relationship / Friendship Accords and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
A Relationship / Friendship Accord creates the opportunity to outline why and how two (or more) communities would like to build and sustain their relationship over the long term. These document are used to:
• strengthen the relationship and provide a framework to undertake joint work
• provide structure, although this not a legal document or a business agreement
• inspire and guide the long-term relationship
• celebrate with the broader communities and regional partners
• formalize the spirit, intent and cooperative agreement of the partnership
