GZ provides diverse funding opportunities to aid First Nations communities, households, and individuals in their pursuit of increased autonomy.
The Self Determination Household Support Program specifically targets First Nations households, and individuals in Northern Ontario, offering funding for a wide array of projects and activities that align with their journey toward their unique vision of food self-determination.
“With [GZ’s] help, we were able to repurpose this old shed [into a proper chicken coop]. We built a door, filled this side in so they can come out, we got all fencing so they can come out whenever they want… We built nesting boxes, a little place for them to stay warm. We even replaced some of the flooring in here and built this feeder! … In the spring we’re looking forward to maybe even hatching our own chicks and having a little bit more birds in the summer. We have tons of space for that now thanks to you guys.”
