The EDT has additional funding available as not all funds were invested during this call for applications. As a result, there will be a second call for applications in 2024. This date is yet to be determined.
Since 2016, the EDT has invested over $17.3 million back into the Six Nations community. This funding is made possible through annual distributions of surplus profits by Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation.
