The PDCF is partnering with Indspire, a national Indigenous registered charity that invests in the education of Indigenous youth, to create the annual PDCF Indigenous Youth Award for an Indigenous student enrolled in an accredited post-secondary program. The PDCF’s $2k will be matched by the federal government bringing the value of the Award to $4k. The first preference for the recipient is an Indigenous student from Lanark County; the second preference is an Indigenous student from eastern Ontario. This Award will be funded by donors who specify that their donation go to the Award.
