Good afternoon,

Fund).
Eligibility:
All full-time faculty and staff in academic and administrative units at the University of Manitoba are invited to apply. In addition, UM student groups, associations, clubs, and alliances are also eligible.
Applicants who have received funding in the past must have completed and submitted their Indigenous Initiatives Fund Report(s) in order to be considered for the
2022-23 Indigenous Initiatives Fund. Please review the previously funded Indigenous Initiatives to avoid duplication of similar projects.

The University of Manitoba campuses are located on original lands of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and on the homeland
of the Métis Nation. I respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, I acknowledge the harms of the past, and I dedicate myself to move forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.

Subject: IIF Call for Proposals: Indigenous Initiatives Fund 2023
The following is being sent on behalf of Dr. Cary Miller, Associate Vice-President, Office of the Vice-President (Indigenous),
to Deans, Directors, Associate Deans, and Heads of Administrative Units
The University of Manitoba‘s Indigenous Initiatives Fund supports unit-based projects that advance the Indigenous achievement and
engagement goals as stated in Our Shared Future: Building on our Strategic Plan.
Faculties, schools, colleges and libraries are invited to submit proposals to the fund. As well, UM student groups, associations, clubs and alliances are eligible to apply.
We are accepting applications in three categories:
- One-time Impact projects (funding limit of $15,000): These are smaller projects normally 12 months in duration that will advance and contribute in substantive ways to Indigenous achievement
and a culture of inclusive excellence.
- Unit Impact projects (funding limit of $30,000): These are projects requiring seed funding for about 2 years to support unit-specific projects.
- Institutional Impact projects (funding limit of $60,000): These are initiatives that may require longer term funding (up to 3 years) and have greater potential for making a university-wide
impact.
Please see attached the guidelines and application form. Proposals must be submitted to vpindigenous@umanitoba.ca by Monday, May 15, 2023 at 4 pm.
Please share with your direct reporting units. We look forward to receiving your proposals.
If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Cary Miller, Associate Vice-President (Indigenous)
Cary.Miller@umanitoba at your convenience.
Thank you.
