Elders Initiatives (Schedule B)

1. Purpose

This program provides contributions to individuals and non-profit organizations that promote Elder activities in Nunavut.

2. Eligibility

Eligibility is restricted to individuals and non-profit organizations.

3. Review

A working group reviews funding proposals and makes recommendations to the Director of Elders and Youth. The applicable grant and contribution administrative officer chairs the working group, which is comprised of up to four additional members.

The working group meets once per year to review funding proposals. In cases where timelines require a proposed project to be assessed quickly, or the working group has already met, the Director of Elders and Youth may approve or reject the funding proposal.

4. Supporting Data

A completed funding proposal is submitted to the Department, which includes a description of the project, an outline of the project objectives, the proposed budget (including revenues and expenditures) and a timeline for completion of the project.

5. Accountability

Recipients are required to submit mid-year financial reports and a year-end un- audited schedule of revenues and expenses, within 60 days of the end of the project or the Government of Nunavut’s fiscal year.

If the required financial reports are not submitted, the recipient will not be eligible for further funding until the financial statements indicating that the contribution was expended are submitted, or any amount unaccounted for is repaid.

Recipients are also required to submit an achievement report outlining the benefits achieved, compared to the expectations indicated in the proposal.

6. Amount

The maximum contribution that can be awarded is $25,000, subject to available funding. The Government’s liability is limited to the amount of funding authorized. In addition, the Government will not be responsible for any budget shortfalls or deficits.

7. Payment

Payments will be issued in two installments, as outlined in the terms of the Conditional Contribution Agreement.

8. Term

Contributions are one-time only, with a reporting period from April 1 to March 31 of each fiscal year.
