Inuusivut call for funding proposals
The Department of Health’s Inuusivut Program, formerly Quality of Life, is accepting funding proposals for suicide prevention initiatives for the 2022-2023 fiscal year.
Non-profit organizations and municipal governments in Nunavut are encouraged to submit funding proposals for community-led projects focused on suicide prevention, intervention and post-intervention.
Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, applicants are asked to submit proposals that abide by current social distancing rules and public health measures. This could include proposals for programs that are held through online platforms, or programs that can be implemented while still following the current Public Health Measures.
The Quality of Life Secretariat is encouraging innovation and creativity to ensure Nunavummiut have continued access to local programs and activities.
Activities eligible for funding include, but are not limited to:
- Strategic planning.
- Research related to wellness promotion.
- Community training.
- Social emotional learning.
- Capital planning.
- Reducing impulsive behaviour.
- Support networks.
- Other innovative suicide prevention wellness initiatives.
One application for multiple eligible activities is encouraged depending on community needs. Please submit your proposal by March 15, 2022. Late submissions will be considered if there are funds remaining.
For more information to apply and application forms, contact @email.
Let us all play our role in suicide prevention. Inuusivut Anninaqtuq - United for Life!
