How We Work

Collaboration: We believe collaboration: increases available funding for land-based initiatives by drawing on diverse sectors; reduces the administrative burden for communities, which means more time for program delivery; and creates shared learning and evaluation opportunities. Our goal as a collaborative is to make best use of financial, human, and other resources to better support the delivery of on the land programming in the NWT.
 
Consensus: Every member of the Collaborative, regardless of their role or how much they contribute to the funding pot, has an equal voice at the table and plays an important role in determining how we work.
 
Creativity: We intentionally place few limitations on proposals in order to encourage innovation, but also to allow communities to deliver programs that acknowledge the interconnection of social, cultural, economic, and environmental outcomes. Each year, we are delighted by the many beautiful, creative, and diverse approaches that communities across the territory are using to revitalizing connections to land, as well as local traditions and languages.
 
Community: Our open approach to project design is also meant to respect local needs. We believe strongly that communities are best positioned to determine what will work for them. We are committed to supporting local expertise and objectives. We value on the land projects that strengthen relationships within and between communities, and enhance community capacity.
 
Connection: One feature of the NWT On the Land Collaborative are learning trips, immersive and interactive experiences that connect Funding Partners and Community Advisors with grant recipients. Learning trips reflect the belief that successful collaboration depends on good relationships and good relationships are built through face-to-face interactions and shared experiences.
 
The NWT On the Land Collaborative is always looking to improve how we work. The Funding Partners, Community Advisors, and Administrative Team meet regularly to discuss prospective partners; explore new opportunities; review feedback from applicants; and prepare for the next grant cycle. We welcome suggestions for how we can enhance the Collaborative, grow the fund, and better support grant recipients.
