As defined by the Deed, only Qualifying Projects are eligible for funding and must be submitted by:
Qualifying projects must benefit the Beneficiaries which means all Members of Chapleau Cree First Nation living either in the community or away from the community (i.e., on or off-reserve).
This year, the Trust is open to proposals of either $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 or $150,000 with a total funding of $150,000.
Based on your RFP proposal response your budget will be limited to a fixed budget of either $50,000, $75,000, $100,000 or $150,000 Canadian Dollars (“Funding”) and Proposals should be made with this ultimate maximum Funding level being provided by the Trust to support the Proponent’s effort in delivering the deliverables of the Project (the “Deliverables”).
Your proposal may include third-party funding associated with a Project, including but not limited to personal additional funding, in-kind contributions of effort or materials, sponsorship funding, and other sources. However, the Proponent should be aware that such additional Funding, if not secured, may make the Proponent’s Proposal less viable and therefore negatively influence the evaluation of the Proponent’s Proposal.
