“The Northern Youth Cultural Fund (NYCF), delivered in partnership with the Northern Sport, Culture and Recreation District (NSCRD), provides funding for cultural, artistic or creative interactive activities for children and youth ages 4 to 19 in northern Saskatchewan. This funding initiative is made possible thanks to the support of Sask Lotteries.
Applicants are encouraged to connect with NSCRD staff for guidance regarding their application. Please visit the NYCF page for contact details.
The Northern Youth Cultural Fund aims to fund programs that:
- connect children and youth to unique, life-changing artistic and cultural experiences in their communities;
- provide all children and youth with the opportunity to participate in creative activities regardless of economic barriers they may face;
- provide financial support so all kids have an opportunity to participate in creative activities like drama, art, dance, culture, and music; and
- support cultural programming, which is critical to a healthy, vibrant community.
Priority will be given to:
- The equitable distribution of funds across the northern District;
- Projects and organizations not already funded significantly by other Lottery-supported grant programs;
- Projects with a focus on implementing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action or other Reconciliation efforts.”
