Upcoming Funding Dates
In 2024, the only Emerging Needs Stream IYR will be running is Land and Food Sovereignty Stream. You can learn more about that stream here.
Description
Each year, the Creation Advisory Circle determines 1-4 Emerging Needs Streams. These streams are different from our other streams in that they have a targeted focus and funding goal that is based on community needs. We run the Emerging Needs streams to allow us to put funding into the emerging barriers, gaps and opportunities that are facing our communities, and to make targeted change. It’s important to us that this stream is led by Indigenous youth voices, which is why the themes are selected by the Creation Advisory Circle each year.

Impact of Emerging Needs Stream
In total, $2,224,900 in funding has been mobilized through the Emerging Needs Streams. This includes supports provided to 93 projects and groups.
Beyond the resources these streams have provided to communities, they also have supported new and emerging projects, and the scaled growth of existing work. IYR is incredibly proud to have been able to support diverse projects that included everything from building a land-based camp, to developing language resources, to running afterschool programming to running exchange programs for youth from different communities.
