Value

Project funding usually ranges from $10,000 to $50,000 per project, per year.

Description

The Indigenous Partnerships for Species at Risk (IPSAR), formerly known as the ‘Aboriginal Fund for Species at Risk (AFSAR)’, is a Government of Canada program administered by Environment and Climate Change Canada.
