Secure Funding for Indigenous Land-Based Healing Programs

Indigenous communities seeking to establish or expand land-based healing programs now have a streamlined way to apply for grant funding. This Community Land-Based Healing Program Grant Application template is designed specifically for Indigenous nations, bands, and community organizations working to reconnect their people with traditional territories, cultural practices, and ancestral healing wisdom.

Land-based healing represents a powerful return to Indigenous ways of knowing and being. By bringing community members—especially youth and those facing trauma or disconnection—back to the land alongside Elders and knowledge keepers, these programs address wellness holistically through ceremony, traditional food harvesting, language revitalization, and intergenerational knowledge transfer.
