Did you know - there is a 20 per cent gap in post-secondary completion between Indigenous and non-Indigenous adults in Canada? There are many reasons for this including the disparities that exist because of the devastating and ongoing legacy of colonization.
Our 30x30 campaign helps to address that gap - providing scholarships to Indigenous youth so they can pursue their post-secondary education dreams!

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.
