First Nations-led harm reduction goes beyond keeping people safer while using. The FNHA harm reduction approach is grounded in relationships, cultural connection and community care. This approach supports access to ancestral knowledge, land-based healing, ceremony and other community-led pathways to wellness.
Eligibility
With the public health toxic drug emergency in BC continuing to disproportionately affect First Nations people, FNHA Harm Reduction grants offer support for innovative, community-based and grassroots harm reduction initiatives.
Eligible organizations may apply for up to $20,000 in funding to support First Nations-led harm reduction and wellness initiatives that engage youth, adults and Elders impacted by the toxic drug public health emergency. Initiatives should explore strengthening connections to culture, healing, identity and supporting wholistic well-being.
Applications for the 2026/27 funding cycle are now closed.
