Must read

The Government of the Northwest Territories is now accepting funding proposals for the Early Childhood Infrastructure Fund for the 2024-2025 fiscal year.

The Early Childhood Infrastructure Fund is designed for projects that preserve or expand existing infrastructure of licensed centre-based childcare spaces or that create new licensed centre-based child care spaces in Northwest Territories communities.

Funding priority will be given to communities with limited or no early learning and childcare programming.

Eligible organizations include:

  • Licensed centre-based early learning and childcare programs
  • Indigenous governments

  • Education bodies

The total budget available is approximately $5.9 million for 2024-2025. The amount applicants receive is determined on a per-proposal basis and available funding.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, which means that they are continually accepted and reviewed at specific intake periods. 

  • August 1, 2024 (for 2024-2025 funding)
  • October 1, 2024 (for 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 funding)
