The Six Nations of the Grand River Economic Development Trust (EDT) is pleased to announce that $52,707.96 is available for the first round of grassroots applications for 2026. This is a result of annual distributions of surplus profits from the operations of the Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC).
This round of funding will be available to grassroots applicants only. Applications will be released on www.sixnationsedt.ca on January 12, 2026. The final application deadline is Friday, February 13, 2026, at 4:00pm.
Organizations that are eligible to apply for grassroots funding include established volunteer groups or organizations that do not have regular employees.
