Background of the organization
The Yukon Funders Collaborative (YFC), hosted by Makeway, was developed in 2024 in response to the Yukon government’s withdrawal of funding for land-based healing programs. Co-created with the Council of Yukon First Nations and leaders from all 14 Yukon First Nations, YFC is a new regional funder network focused on community-led wellness and healing.
Project description
This contribution will support the launch and growth of the Yukon Funders Collaborative, which will begin issuing grants in fall 2025. The Collaborative aims to build a stable annual fund to support over 40 projects rooted in land-based healing, cultural revitalization, and community safety.
