Help Indigenous youth get the education they need to reach their potential.

Indspire is the former National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation. We are a registered national charity that is dedicated to providing the necessary tools for Indigenous peoples, especially youth to achieve their potential. Our focus is on supporting, innovating, and fundamentally transforming Indigenous education.

To date Indspire, through its Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries and Scholarship Awards program has awarded more than $49-million in bursaries and scholarships to more than 14,000 First Nation, Inuit and Métis students nationwide.

Our other programs, Soaring: Indigenous Youth Career Conferences and Industry in the Classroom: Indigenous Youth Career Seminars, focus on introducing students to potential career opportunities and growth industries.

To succeed, Indigenous youth also need positive role models. That’s why we recognize 14 outstanding Indigenous achievers at the Indspire Awards. This nationally televised gala provides inspirational role models for Indigenous youth and celebrates the rich contributions First Nation, Inuit and Métis people have made to their communities and Canada.
