Seeding Strength Grants provide funding to youth-led First Nations movements. First Nations young people (aged 16-35 years) applied for grants to support core funding for existing or new campaigns, movements, and projects across four impact areas:

• Truthtelling and storytelling
• Decolonising and re-Indigenising
• Building and strengthening movements, campaigns and global solidarity
• Facilitating vision creation.

The successful applicants were decided by a panel of our First Nations Governance Group against the selection criteria.

Every grant is for a project self-determined and run by young First Nations people, with cultural governance and accountability. If the funds are being auspiced by a non-Indigenous organisation, there is a commitment by that organisation for accountability on this.

We’re excited to share that the following First Nations young people received funding offers for their projects:
