If you are an individual looking to apply for a Summer Get Active grant, please note that we cannot issue cheques or EFT to individuals; we can only issue grants to organizations. If you would like to do something for your community but are not part of an organization, reach out to a local organization in your community to see if they can accept a cheque on your behalf. In those instances we will provide a cheque rather than EFT.

Communities outside of Yellowknife are eligible for the NWT Community price index:

The Northwest Territories Community Price Survey which has been conducted since 1982 allows for a comparison of prices across communities. This comparison takes the form of an index showing average prices compared to Yellowknife. Grants for communities will be calculated using the same ratio that is reflected in the linked index (the lowest-scoring community will be given the basic amount). 

Yellowknife has the lowest food price index, hence organizations in this community will receive either $400 or $500 for their event. However, as an example, an organization based out of Inuvik, where the price index is 1.59, would be entitled to $636 ($400 x 1.59) or $795 ($500 x 1.59) For more information on your community price index visit:  https://www.statsnwt.ca/prices-expenditures/community-price-index/
