On October 22, 2020 the Qalipu First Nation announced $150,000 in funds available to small member-owned businesses in the form of non-repayable grants of up to $10,000.  Following the call for proposals, 60 businesses applied for the fund and 23 grants were distributed throughout the province.  The fund has now been fully allocated and we wish to advise our membership that applications are no longer being accepted.

We thank all those who applied and look forward to the many developments and work being done by small business owners as a result of receiving the support grant. Proposed activities for this fund include increased online marketing, purchase of tools and equipment to increase business capacity, relocation to reduce rent costs, and new technology equipment to keep up with virtual demands.
