Investing in healthy, thriving Indigenous Youth and communities
Take action by supporting our campaign to raise $30K by Dec 30 to uplift Indigenous Youth by increasing access to life-changing educational opportunities!
Since 2022, we’ve partnered with Indspire to provide educational awards to Indigenous Youth to support their post-secondary education.

Inter-connectedness
Kw’umut Lelum Foundation is the first Indigenous owned and led community foundation in British Columbia, and one of a growing network of Indigenous-owned charities in Canada.
Building on 25 years of trusted Indigenous-centered youth programing and services, KLF unites us in our efforts to expand cultural, economic, social, educational and recreational access in support of Indigenous children and their families. The Foundation is a charitable organization and CRA-registered.
Pathways to Education
The Kw’umut Lelum Indspire Awards support youth from our nine member nations on Vancouver Island to access life-changing post-secondary educational opportunities that may otherwise have been out of reach.
We hope their stories inspire you - to either apply for the grant yourself, or to donate to help other youth along their journey to education.
