2 Spirits in Motion Foundation

Published purpose

This 31-month project will address, through the first phase, organizational capacity needs of the 2-Spirits in Motion Foundation (2SiMF) and promote collaborative knowledge generation and dissemination amongst Two Spirit peoples and organizations in order to foster the creation of a safe and supportive environment for Two Spirit peoples in Canada. Organizational capacity building will be enhanced through the development of a strategic plan to advance 2SiMF’s finance, governance and human resource management structures, as well as the disbursement of micro-grants to strengthen the capacity of locally and regionally engaged two-spirit organizations in Canada. A national Two Spirit gathering will inform priority setting for future policy and planning. The additional funding is for the second phase of the project. The second phase of the project will allow the organization to expand its ability to undertake key activities through enhanced governance, networking, collaboration, and advocacy measures within the 2 Spirit community in Canada.
