The Brighter Futures Circle is a group of dedicated donors who want to deepen their connection with Indspire and expand their support of Indigenous students
Your investment in their future is an investment in Canada’s future
With an annual gift of $1,000, or more, members of the Brighter Futures Circle provide significant support to all of Indspire’s programs. As a member, you play a vital role in helping more First Nation, Inuit and Métis students realize their dream of a post-secondary education.
Your contributions will help remove financial barriers to post-secondary education, provide mentor support to students, allow educators to share resources to improve outcomes, and so much more.

“We are first and third generation Canadians who, for much of our lives, did not ‘see’ Indigenous peoples. Through the kindness and patience of Indigenous friends, we have been invited into a journey of discovery of our shared history and our shared opportunity. We are grateful to be invited into relationship with first peoples, inspired by indigenous wisdom such as seven generations thinking and honoured to support the work of Indspire’s Brighter Futures Circle.”
– Colin Jackson and Arlene Strom, Calgary, AB
