Yes, I want to help Indigenous students succeed by making a gift to Indspire’s Learning from the Past Fund that will support students who are pursuing an education in Indigenous Studies.
In May 2021 the tragic discovery of 215 children buried at the site of the former Indian Residential School on Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc territory in Kamloops, British Columbia highlighted for all Canadians a dark chapter in our country’s shared history.
To honour the lost lives and to aid in our collective movement towards reconciliation, we created the Learning from the Past Fund to support students who are pursuing an education in Indigenous Studies.
For more than thirty years, Indspire has helped First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students realize their potential through education, making education an empowering and positive path from the remnants of the residential school system.
It is our hope that this commitment will be one more way in which we can further the work of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, simultaneously creating a powerful impact on the future of Indigenous learners while ensuring that this history is not forgotten. In this way, we can continue to learn and heal together, even as we maintain our strong focus on supporting Indigenous students, helping them achieve their dreams through education.
Support Indspire’s Learning from the Past Fund today as your gift will positively impact the lives of many Indigenous students, their families, communities and Canada. Thank you.
