The fund offers two grant streams: Reconciliation Action Grants and Capacity Building Grants. Reconciliation Action Grants support community-based activities, events, and initiatives that advance reconciliation through culture, art, education, and language revitalization. All funding must support an Indigenous-led activity, event, or initiative. This stream provides one-time grants and does not fund ongoing programs or projects.

The Community Action Fund (CAF) supports Indigenous-led direct action and grassroots organizing efforts that protect Indigenous rights, lands, waters, communities, and Nations. The fund prioritizes urgent, community-based initiatives that are responding to immediate issues and advancing Indigenous self-determination through non-violent direct action and movement-building activities.

Supports projects that build meaningful relationships between Indigenous Peoples and the Department of National Defence/Canadian Armed Forces through trust, dialogue, and cultural awareness.
