Item - 2022.AA16.2

The Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee received the item for information.

Jennifer Hoffman, Acting Manager, Community Funding Unit, Social Development, Finance and Administration, gave a presentation to the Committee.

The Acting Manager, Community Funding Unit, Social Development, Finance and Administration, will give a presentation on the Indigenous Funding Framework.

Social Development and Finance Administration is working with Indigenous leaders to develop a Funding Framework to allocate funding to Indigenous organizations and groups. The development of the funding framework builds on earlier work to decolonize granting, including amending the Toronto Grants Policy. When complete in 2022, the Funding Framework will both increase the amount of funding allocated to Indigenous organizations and recognize the importance of self-determination in the use of funding. This presentation aims to update the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee and garner their comments.
